Vicke

Anders Zorn

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a bearded man playing a stringed instrument. The man has curly hair and a bushy white beard. He wears a dark vest over a white shirt with billowy sleeves. He holds the neck of the instrument with his left hand and the bow in his right. The instrument appears to be a fiddle. The background is dark and shadowy, with visible lines suggesting a wall or other structure behind the man. The entire image is rendered in dark brown lines on a light brown background, with the artist's signature visible in the bottom-right corner. The overall style is highly detailed and expressive, with bold lines and shading that give the impression of movement and energy. The title of the piece is "Vicke" and it is by Anders Zorn.
