Henry Marquand 1893

Anders Zorn's 1893 etching "Henry Marquand" depicts the prominent art collector Henry Marquand standing in a dimly lit room. The figure is partially obscured by shadows, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and dark, a signature style of Zorn. This work, held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates Zorn's skill in capturing both the personality and physical presence of his subject. Marquand’s prominent position in the composition reflects his significant role in the art world and his impact on the development of art institutions.
