The artwork titled “Mona,” created by Anders Zorn in 1911, is an etching on paper. This portrait, reflecting the Realism art movement, measures 24.8 x 17.5 cm.
In the artwork, an elderly woman is depicted with exquisite detail. She is dressed in traditional attire, including a headscarf adorned with polka dots, a warm coat, and a flowing skirt. The woman’s expression, captured with a sense of realism and depth, reveals a life lived with experience and resilience. The background, though understated, provides a warm tone that complements the subject, drawing focus to her facial features and attire. The careful attention to textures and light demonstrates Zorn’s mastery in etching.
