Description
This 1888 work by Swedish artist Anders Zorn of a mother helping her child into the water is one of the artist's most intimate and memorable works, capturing a very special moment with the instanteity of a photograph, suffused with the unique texture of oil paint applied to a china plate (hence the cracks). The unusual angle, cropping and informality of the scene also hints strongly at Impressionism, the revolutionary style developing in France that the widely travelled Zorn would already have been familiar with.
