Dalecarlian Peasant (Lavards Anders) is a 1919 ink by Anders Zorn, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching on van gelder laid paper shows a man with a fur-lined hat and coat. The artist has used bold lines and shading to create a sense of texture and depth. The man's face is rendered in detail, with wrinkles and a serious expression. The etching is done in a realistic style, with attention to the folds of the man's clothing and the shape of his hat. The background is left blank, drawing the viewer's focus to the subject. The artist's use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a rich, detailed image.
