Foreword
Anders Leonard Zorn (1860 –1920) was one of Sweden’s foremost artists who obtained international success as a painter, sculptor and printmaker in etching.

Zorn was born in Yvraden, a hamlet in the village of Utmeland in the parish of Mora, Dalarna, and was raised on his grandparents' farm in Yvraden. He studied until the age of twelve in the school at Mora Strand before progressing in the autumn of 1872 to a secondary grammar school in Enköping.
