The artwork titled “Vicke” by the renowned artist Anders Zorn dates back to the year 1918. Executed in the medium of etching on paper, this piece belongs to the Realism art movement. It is a genre painting that measures 19.7 by 29.2 centimeters.
The artwork depicts an elderly man illuminated strikingly from below, casting deep shadows that highlight the intricacies of his face and figure. He holds a musical instrument, likely a guitar or lute, suggesting a moment of performance or introspection. The intricate etching technique masterfully captures the texture of the man’s clothing, his aged skin, and the strings of the instrument. The play of light and shadow not only accentuates the man’s focused expression but also enhances the dramatic and realistic quality of the scene.
