1913
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Seaward Skerries is a 1913 by Anders Zorn, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people on a rocky shore near the water. One stands upright, holding a hat, while the other sits or kneels on the jagged rocks. The artist used quick, scratchy lines to show the wind-blown grass and rough texture of the rocks. The standing figure’s pose looks relaxed, almost like they’re posing for a quick sketch. The way the artist drew the rocks and grass with tight, overlapping lines makes the scene feel rough and natural. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
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.
