After the Bath collection.nationalmuseum.se/eMuseu…
Anders Zorn has come to be associated with paintings of nude young women bathing. In his early paintings on this theme, such as After the Bath from 1895, the women seem unaware of the spectator. They are not posing, but are simply captured on canvas while undressing or concentrating on getting out of the water. This spontaneous character is naturally false, and the nudity is a vital element in the painting. Nevertheless, these paintings are not primarily erotic; instead, the emphasis is on the effect of light. The nude body is hazy, to serve as a sculptural shape in the play of light and shadow in the overall composition.

Castles in the Air collection.nationalmuseum.se/eMuseu…
Zorn worked primarily in watercolours during the 1880s. With virtuosity, he portrayed reflections and other light effects in images of everyday situations. The model here is Emma Lamm, who married Zorn in October 1885. The watercolour was painted the same year, quite possibly on their honey-moon, which took the couple via Vienna and Budapest to Constantinople. The viewer is looking up, at an angle, at Emma with the light behind her. The sun shines through her Japanese parasol with its painted decoration.

The Girl from Älvdalen collections.artsmia.org/art/1242
At the turn of the 20th century, Sweden was swept by a wave of nationalism. This movement, which was partially a reaction to the rapid development of industrialism, was led and supported by writers, musicians, and artists who were keen to preserve the country's cultural heritage. In 1896, Anders Zorn moved to Mora, a picturesque village in central Sweden. Zorn sought to uphold the traditional culture of the region through his paintings of daily life and folk customs, which often featured local females at their work in the field or in the home. The Girl from Älvdalen, with its accurate rendering of the traditional costume of the neighboring Älvdalen parish, is entirely typical of Zorn's interest in folk culture.

Self-portrait collection.nationalmuseum.se/eMuseu…
Dazzlingly bright slanting sunlight illuminates the artist’s white smock and highlights the side of his forehead. But Zorn’s studio is gloomy, and shapes and details are hard to discern. In the background, his model, an Italian girl, sits with her long, auburn hair wrapped around her. Zorn’s self-portrait was exhibited in Stockholm in 1897.

Coquelin Cadet collection.nationalmuseum.se/eMuseu…
In 1889, Anders Zorn and his wife Emma rented a flat with a studio in Montmartre – which became their permanent address for eight years. Zorn quickly established himself in Paris, largely thanks to personal contacts in the Parisian cultural elite, including the actor Coquelin Cadet (1848–1909). Cadet was famous mainly for his monologues. He was also an avid art collector. Zorn portrayed him in his professional role – on stage before an audience. The sculpture in the background can be seen as a reference to his interest in art.
