Vicke is a 1918 by Anders Zorn, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man with a bushy beard and mustache. He is wearing a dark jacket with a round brooch on the left side. His right hand is raised, holding a long object that extends out of the frame. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking upwards. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's face and hands.
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.
