Anders Zorn (Mora, 1860 - 1920, Mora)
Young Girl from Mora, 1903
Etching on laid paper, 25.7 x 22.9 cm (10 1/8 x 9 in.)
This etching is a bust-length portrait of a young peasant woman. Around the top of her oval face, waves of unruly hair slip from under a headscarf which is tied in a knot under her neck. Her brows are thick, and her lips are full and partly slightly to show a few teeth in a half smile.
