The Waltz is a 1891 by Anders Zorn, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Anders Zorn paints two people waltzing in a sunlit room. The woman wears a white dress with a dark belt. The man’s hand rests on her back. Zorn was Swedish and painted this in 1891. He used quick, visible brushstrokes to show movement. The light glows on their clothes and skin. Look up Anders Zorn (Swedish, 1860–1920) to see more of his work.
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.
