The artwork, titled “My Model and My Boat,” was created by Anders Zorn in 1894. This etching on paper falls under the Realism art movement and belongs to the genre of nude painting (nu). The dimensions of the artwork are 23.8 x 15.8 cm.
In the artwork, a female figure is depicted in the nude, standing near the shore, partially draped with what appears to be a net or light veil. A boat with prominent sails is situated in the background, resting on calm water, creating a tranquil and balanced composition. The surrounding elements include foliage and rocky terrain, showcasing Zorn’s mastery in capturing naturalistic details and textures. The scene is rendered with fine lines and intricate cross-hatching, characteristic of the etching technique. Zorn’s work here exemplifies his attention to realism, presenting a serene and intimate moment between the model and the vessel.
