Anders Zorn — Two Bathers
Anders Zorn

Two Bathers

1910

"Two Bathers" exemplifies Anders Zorn's mastery of intaglio techniques, combining etching, drypoint, and roulette to create a work of considerable tonal richness and atmospheric depth. The composition captures an intimate moment of two figures in water, rendered with the Swedish artist's characteristic loose, confident line work and subtle modeling of form through varied mark making. Zorn's skillful use of the roulette tool, which creates a textured tonal surface, demonstrates his innovative approach to printmaking in the late 19th century.
