About this work

Two women stand knee-deep in calm, sunlit water. One bends to wash her hair while the other rests a hand on her shoulder. Sunlight dances off their skin and the ripples around them. Zorn painted wet skin often. He used quick, loose brushstrokes that still show muscle and movement. The light feels real, not staged. If you like this, check out Anders Zorn (Swedish, 1860–1920).
