The artwork, titled “Portrait of Elizabeth Sherman Cameron,” was created by Anders Zorn in the year 1900. This oil on canvas painting is a notable piece from the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of portraiture. Currently, the artwork resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a poised woman, Elizabeth Sherman Cameron, seated against a backdrop of vibrant red furniture and a floral-patterned yellow wall. She is adorned in an elegant white gown embellished with subtle floral designs, which complement the blossoms depicted in the background. Her gaze is firm, and she holds a delicate fan in her left hand, enhancing the aura of refinement and grace. The loose, yet deliberate brushstrokes characteristic of Zorn’s style add a sense of vitality and spontaneity to the portrait. The overall composition masterfully balances color and form, showcasing the elegance and sophistication emblematic of the Art Nouveau movement.
