At Night III 1897

Anders Zorn created "At Night III" using etching techniques. This print captures a fleeting moment of social life, reflecting Zorn’s interest in depicting modern woman. The woman's dark attire and furtive glance evoke a sense of mystery. Set against a backdrop of what appears to be a dimly lit café, she seems caught between worlds. The etching style, with its stark contrasts and fluid lines, enhances the emotional depth. Zorn often portrayed women in varied social settings, exploring themes of identity and anonymity. Was this woman's gaze defiance, or apprehension? This work hints at the complex negotiations women navigate in public spaces. "At Night III" reminds us of the quiet dramas unfolding in the margins of social life.
