EDITORS COMMENTS
On the Ice," an exquisite etching on ivory laid paper by Anders Leonard Zorn, painted in 1898, captures the essence of winter's icy grip in Scandinavia. The image portrays a solitary woman, dressed in a thick fur coat and with a hand on her hip, standing confidently on the frozen surface of a mill pond. The dark, wintry scene is set against the backdrop of a cavernous cave and shadowy trees, their branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. The woman's posture and the way she gazes out at the viewer with a determined expression convey a sense of both leisure and resilience. Zorn's masterful use of shadow and darkness adds depth and texture to the image, while the etching's intricate details bring the scene to life. The woman's fur-trimmed hat and the delicate folds of her coat are rendered with remarkable realism, making it easy to imagine the biting cold and the crisp, winter air. The image is a testament to the artistic movement of realism and the enduring appeal of winter sports in the 19th century. This stunning etching is a valuable addition to any art collection, and its rich heritage is preserved at the Art Institute of Chicago. The image invites us to reflect on the pastime of ice skating, a popular winter activity that has stood the test of time, and transports us to a bygone era of Scandinavian winters.
