About this work

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.
