EDITORS COMMENTS
Travelling Companion (Mr. Ch. Deering) is a captivating etching in black on ivory laid paper created by renowned Swedish artist Anders Leonard Zorn in 1904. The image depicts Charles Deering, an American businessman and philanthropist, seated comfortably in a railway carriage. Dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, Deering is engrossed in reading a document, his serious expression betraying no sign of the movement of the train. The artistic realism of Zorn's brushstrokes brings the scene to life, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century. Deering's image is a testament to the era of rail travel, when the railway became a symbol of progress and mobility. The black and white composition adds to the sense of nostalgia and timelessness. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow creates a striking contrast, highlighting the textures of the carriage's upholstery and the creases in Deering's clothes. Charles Deering was a prominent figure in American business and philanthropy, known for his significant contributions to the art world. He was a generous supporter of the Art Institute of Chicago, where this etching is now housed, and his collection of American art is still on display at the institution. Travelling Companion (Mr. Ch. Deering) is a poignant reminder of the past, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of a bygone era. The image invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of travel and the importance of companionship, as Deering's solitary journey continues on in this timeless work of art.
