An Irish Girl or Annie is a 1894 ink by Anders Zorn, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a young woman with dark hair and a white dress. She's looking at us with a serious expression. The background is dark, which makes her stand out. The woman's face is detailed, but her body is not as clear. This makes the viewer focus on her face and expression. The dark background also helps draw attention to her. The artist used a technique called etching to create this painting. You can see more etchings by looking up the technique.
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.
