Description
Reproduction of a late 19th century watercolour-and-ink portrait of a beautiful young widow by Swedish realist painter Anders Zorn (1860-1920). At first glance, this could almost pass for a photograph, but look closely and Zorn's remarkable mastery of the flow of ink on paper becomes clear. The picture is one of several Zorn completed on a similar theme, tapping into 19th century obsessions with death and spiritualism, and with the gothic trend that had begun in the early decades of the century, and was still in full flow at the time.
