Bust is a 1916 by Anders Zorn, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, her body facing the left side of the image. Her head is turned slightly towards the viewer, and her hands are placed in her lap. The woman is nude, and her body is rendered in a range of tones, from light to dark. The artist has used a technique to create a sense of volume and depth in the painting. The woman's body is depicted in a naturalistic way, with attention paid to the play of light and shadow on her skin. This painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Anders Leonard Zorn was born in February 1860 in Mora, Dalarna, the illegitimate son of a Bavarian brewer and a Swedish farmer's daughter; his mother died shortly after his birth, and his grandparents raised him.
