EDITORS COMMENTS
Anders Leonard Zorn's captivating etching, "S. Loeb" (1897), showcases the enigmatic portrait of Solomon Loeb, an elderly American banker with a direct and introspective gaze. The black and white etching on ivory laid paper, created by the renowned Swedish artist, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the late 19th century. Loeb is depicted wearing a formal coat, complete with sideboards and a well-groomed beard, exuding an air of wealth and sophistication. The portrait, which is part of the vast collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the realist artistic movement of the time. Zorn's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the subject to life. The banker's intense stare and the intricately detailed clothing and accessories serve to highlight the individuality and character of the man. The setting of the portrait is uncertain, but the image evokes a sense of both the urban business world and the quiet, introspective moments of an elderly man. The sideboards and sideburns, popular among men of the time, add to the historical context of the piece. S. Loeb is a testament to Zorn's skill as a master etcher and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait continues to intrigue and fascinate viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the world of finance and business during the late 19th century.
