Lappings of the waves 1887

Anders Zorn's "Lappings of the Waves" (1887) captures the tranquility of a Swedish lakeside scene. The painting depicts a woman standing on a dock, gazing out at the still water. A boat rests in the foreground, with a pair of figures on the pier in the distance. The soft, luminous light of the setting sun bathes the scene in a warm glow, reflected in the rippling water. The painting exemplifies Zorn's signature style, known for its meticulous detail and masterful use of light and shadow. This work is a testament to Zorn's artistry and his keen eye for capturing the essence of everyday life in his native Sweden.
