Frida is a 1914 by Anders Zorn, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face and shoulders, drawn in quick, loose lines. Her hair is curly, and she wears a high-necked dress with lace at the collar. The background is mostly blank, with just a few strokes suggesting a dark shape behind her. The artist used rough, uneven strokes to create shadows and texture, especially on her hair and dress. The sketch feels fast and sketchy, like it was drawn in one go. Next, check out Anders Zorn (Swedish, 1860–1920) to see more of his work.
