Lovely original etching, a portrait of a local girl by Anders Zorn (1860-1920) $1500 Created 1912 and titled “Skerikulla." The image measures 9 3/4" H x 7 3/4" W. Paper size: 15 3/8" x 13" W. This print is in very good condition, but slightly light struck. Unframed. Presents in a two-ply museum mat. Anders Zorn was born in Mora, Dalarna in 1860. In 1893, on his first trip to America, Zorn visited New York City en route to the Columbian World Exhibition in Chicago (also known as Chicago's World Fair). The self-made artist subscribed to American values and immediately felt welcome in America. While at the Chicago World’s fair, Zorn met Mrs. Gardner. This chance meeting initiated a long friendship and patron relationship. Zorn's outstanding portrait of Mrs. Gardner is at the Palazzo Barbaro in Venice, and an impressive collection of Zorn prints have been on view at The Gardner Museum in Boston. In November of 1893, the Frederick Keppel Gallery on East 16th Street in New York City held the first American exhibition of Zorn's work and ignited Zorn's popularity in this country. As evidence of his influence in America, Zorn portrayed three Presidents: Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland and William Taft. He died in Stockholm in 1920. The artist was one of the most actively collected printmakers of the early 20th century, and was often ranked among the world's most highly-esteemed printmakers. In 1928, the Boston Herald published an article highlighting the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's acquisition of a collection of 110 Zorn etchings.
