Girls from Dalarna Having a Bath (1906) by Anders Zorn, one of Sweden’s most celebrated artists.
Zorn was born and raised in Dalarna, and he returned again and again to scenes of rural life there.
The women here are part of that world, painted outdoors with the loose brushwork and natural light that defined his style.
It’s Zorn doing what he did best: real bodies, real light, real life in the Swedish countryside.
