About the piece

Painted in 1912, this work by the Swedish master Anders Zorn showcases his signature fluid brushwork and sensitive treatment of light. The young woman, dressed in traditional Dalarna clothing, sits barefoot against a dark timber background, her pensive expression and the sturdy wooden staff in her hands conveying a sense of still, rural life during a day of rest.
