Anders Leonard Zorn was one of Sweden's foremost artists. He obtained international success as a painter, sculptor, and etcher. Among Zorn's portrait subjects were King Oscar II of Sweden, and three American Presidents, Grover Cleveland, William H. Taft, and Theodore Roosevelt. At the end of his life, he established the Swedish literary Bellman Prize in 1920.

Smooth dress, rough jeans, choppy water, grimy underdock, shadows and reflections for days, man...

And his sunsquint, and the paler skin behind her ear where it gets less sun...

And that's just the foreground!

She'd probably hit the boat unevenly and rocket backwards into the water, while pushing the nose of the boat even further away, haha.

That dress looks absolutely radiant. Gorgeous as always by Zorn.
