ANDERS ZORN
The Cousins.

Etching, 1883. 445x280 mm; 17 1/2x11 inches, full margins. Third state (of 3). Signed in pencil, lower right. A superb impression of this extremely scarce and early etching.

Zorn (1860-1920) worked in Spain during the early 1880s, and absorbed the work of the Spanish master Diego Velázquez (1599-1660). The sitters in this double-portrait are the daughter (and her cousin) of one of Zorn's associates in Seville.

We have found fewer than 15 other impressions at auction the past 30 years. Delteil 6; Asplund 7; Hjert/Hjert 7.
