Uninhibited by the limitations of the print medium, Swedish artist Anders Zorn exhibited complete mastery of the plate, bending the art form to suit his own direction. His etchings display the same characteristics and likeness of his paintings, which consist chiefly of portraits and genre scenes. This collection of Zorn's finest etchings, which date from 1883–1918, perfectly showcases his artistic style and technical ability.
