"Anders Leonard Zorn (1860 - 1920) was one of Sweden’s foremost artists who obtained international success as a painter, sculptor and printmaker.
He studied at Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1875-1880. He travelled extensively to London, Paris, the Balkans, Spain, Italy and the United States, becoming an international success as one of the most acclaimed painters of his era.
While his early works were often brilliant, luminous watercolours, by 1887 he had switched firmly to oils.
Zorn painted portraits, scenes depicting rustic life and customs. He is also famous for his nude paintings and realistic depictions of water."
This study continues my theme of rowers, although I suspect that the model was posed - and never lifted an oar in her life.
