By Lake Siljan

1905

Anders Zorn captures a fleeting moment of summer in the Swedish countryside with this stunning outdoor nude. The model stands confidently among the lush, white-flowering bushes of Lake Siljan, her hands casually resting behind her head as the sun sets over the water in the background. Zorn was a master of capturing natural light, and here he uses loose, energetic brushstrokes to make the foliage practically shimmer. It's a perfect example of his famous 'en plein air' nudes, celebrating the natural beauty of the human form against a vibrant landscape.
