EDITORS COMMENTS
Anders Leonard Zorn's captivating etching, "King Oscar II (Second Plate)," dates back to 1898, showcasing the elderly monarch, King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway, in his naval uniform. The image, etched on green laid paper, captures the King in profile as he looks away from the viewer, with a thoughtful expression etched upon his weathered face. His long, flowing beard and furrowed brow add to the sense of wisdom and experience that emanates from the portrait. King Oscar II, born in 1829, was a significant figure in Scandinavian history, reigning as King of Sweden and Norway from 1872 until his death in 1907. In this portrait, Zorn masterfully depicts the King's naval uniform, complete with a tall hat adorned with a golden crown and a long, flowing cloak. The intricate details of the uniform, combined with the King's posture and demeanor, convey a sense of regality and power. This etching is a testament to Zorn's exceptional artistic abilities and his commitment to realism. The use of bold lines and precise shading creates a striking contrast between the King's aged features and the crisp, defined lines of his uniform. The image transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the heritage and history of Scandinavia during the late 19th century. The "King Oscar II (Second Plate)" is a valuable addition to any art collection, art centre, or art gallery, showcasing the artistic movement of realism and the enduring legacy of Anders Leonard Zorn. This etching is a must-see for anyone interested in historical portraits, Scandinavian history, or the works of Anders Leonard Zorn.
