EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait etching, titled 'Skérikulla' and dated 1912, showcases the enchanting beauty of a Skeri girl with a radiant smile. The image is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Anders Zorn, a renowned Swedish painter and printmaker. The Skeri people were an ethnic group inhabiting the western coast of Sweden, and their distinctive traditional attire is beautifully captured in this etching. The girl wears a dotted headscarf, intricately tied under her chin, which adds to her unique charm. Her beaming smile exudes warmth and joy, inviting the viewer to connect with her on a deeper level. Anders Zorn, known for his mastery of various techniques, created this etching during a time when he was experimenting with the medium. The intricacies of the etching process allowed him to capture the textures and details of the girl's clothing and facial features with remarkable precision. The year 1912 marked a significant period in Zorn's career, as he was at the height of his artistic prowess. This etching is a prime example of his ability to bring his subjects to life through his art, immortalizing the essence of the Skeri girl for generations to come. This evocative image, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a treasure trove of history and artistry. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the Skeri people and the artistic genius of Anders Zorn.
