Anders Zorn: Details

Anders Leonard Zorn was one of Sweden’s foremost artists who obtained international success as a painter, sculptor and print-maker in etching. His incisive ability to depict the individual character of his model is famous. The model's surroundings were important; Zorn believed that a portrait should be painted in an environment that was natural for the model. An artificial studio environment was not to his taste.
