Beschreibung
A 1911 etching by Swedish artist Anders Zorn, depicting President William Howard Taft with characteristic economy of line and expressive detail.
Anders Zorn, a Swedish artist of international repute, produced this etching of the 27th President of the United States, William Howard Taft, in 1911. Zorn visited the United States multiple times, where he became a sought-after portraitist among the American elite and political figures. His approach to etching is defined by a rapid, confident line that captures the essence of his subject without relying on excessive detail.
In this portrait, Taft is depicted seated, his posture relaxed yet commanding. Zorn employs his characteristic technique of using short, directional strokes to build form and shadow. The background is kept minimal, allowing the viewer to focus on the facial expression and the physical presence of the President. The etching demonstrates Zorn's ability to balance technical precision with a sense of spontaneity. The plate shows the artist's signature style, where the economy of line creates a convincing sense of volume and texture in the fabric of the suit and the contours of the face.
This specific print includes a handwritten inscription at the bottom, addressed to James Parmelee, dated December 22, 1911. Such inscriptions were common in Zorn's practice, as he often gifted proofs to friends and patrons. The work provides a glimpse into the social circles Zorn inhabited during his American travels. It remains a fine example of early 20th-century portrait etching, reflecting the artist's mastery of the medium and his keen observation of character. The composition is balanced, with the weight of the figure anchored by the chair, creating a stable and dignified representation of the executive office.

Artist Biography
Anders Zorn
Zorn painted three sitting American presidents: Grover Cleveland, William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt. For a Swedish painter from a small town in Dalarna, the commissions represented an extraordinary international reach, built on a reputation as one of the finest portrait painters and etchers of his generation.
He was born in Mora in 1860, studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm, and worked across Paris, London and the United States. His ability to render water and flesh with loose, confident brushwork set him apart from more academic contemporaries. His etchings, numbering roughly three hundred, are considered among the finest of the period.
He returned to Mora later in life, establishing a museum and open-air museum there. The Zorn Museum remains a major cultural institution in Sweden. He died in Mora in 1920, at sixty.
