More about this artwork
"Wet" (1911) by Anders Zorn captures an evocative moment of naturalistic beauty and intimate charm. This exquisite etching portrays a young woman in a sunlit water setting, her figure emerging from the rippling water, poised delicately on what appears to be a submerged rock. The woman, caught in an act of playful or perhaps reflective bathing, is rendered with sensitivity and a remarkable attention to the interplay of light and shadow.Zorn, known for his masterful water scenes and direct depictions of the human form, utilizes a confident etching technique to convey not just the physicality of the woman, but also the fluid, dynamic texture of the water around her. The rippling patterns of the water beautifully contrast with the soft curves of the female form, emphasizing a sense of movement and the ephemeral nature of the moment.
