Gopsmor Cottage is a 1917 by Anders Zorn, depicting music, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a simple wooden cottage with a bright red door. The snow on the roof glistens under a pale blue sky. A lone tree stands in the yard, its branches bare. Zorn loved painting light on snow. He often used watercolor for quick, fresh scenes like this. Here, the red door pops against the white snow and dark wood. Look up Anders Zorn’s self-portraits next.
