Dal River is a 1919 by Anders Zorn, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a wide river in Sweden with soft light on the water. A woman in a red dress sits in a small boat, paddling with one oar. Zorn painted this near his home in Mora. He used quick brushstrokes to catch the water’s shimmer and sky’s glow. The red dress stands out against the muted greens and blues. Look up Anders Zorn (Swedish, 1860–1920) to see more like this.
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.
