EDITORS COMMENTS
Anders Leonard Zorn's self-portrait, "Zorn and His Wife," captures the intimate moment of the renowned Swedish painter and his spouse, Emma Amalia Zorn (née Lamm), in their studio in the late 19th century. The black and white etching on ivory wove paper, created in 1890, showcases the couple seated at a desk, with Zorn deep in thought, holding a palette and brush, while his wife, dressed in a simple blouse and apron, looks up at him with a gentle expression. The scene is a testament to the harmonious balance between their artistic partnership and domestic life. Born in Sweden in 1860, Anders Zorn was a leading figure in the Scandinavian realist movement, known for his mastery of various painting techniques and mediums. His works often depicted everyday life and the natural world, reflecting his commitment to portraying authenticity and truth. This self-portrait, however, offers a rare glimpse into the artist's personal life and the role his wife played in his artistic journey. Emma Zorn, who was also an accomplished artist in her own right, served as her husband's model, muse, and business manager. The couple's deep connection is evident in this poignant image, which has been preserved and showcased at the Art Institute of Chicago since 1932. The etching is a poignant reminder of the profound impact that love and companionship can have on an artist's life and work.
