From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Ols Maria is a 1919 by Anders Zorn, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, looking directly at the viewer. She's wearing a dark dress and a white headscarf, with a serious expression on her face. Her hands are folded in her lap, and the background is dark and shadowy. The woman's face is the main focus of the painting, with the artist using chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume. The contrast between light and dark creates a dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's features.
