Zorn and His Model 1897

Anders Zorn's "Zorn and His Model" is an etching created in 1897. The print depicts the artist himself, sitting with a brush in his hand, seemingly in the middle of a painting session. The artist's model is obscured behind Zorn, appearing as a shadowy figure, a common technique used by Zorn. The stark contrasts and bold lines in the etching contribute to the dramatic feel of the piece, while the focus on the artist's creative process provides a glimpse into the artist’s intimate studio space.
