EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching on ivory laid paper, titled "Sir Ernest Cassel" and created by Anders Leonard Zorn in 1909, captures the image of Sir Ernest Joseph Cassel, a prominent banker and financier of the early 20th century. Dressed in a formal suit and vest, Cassel exudes an air of confidence and authority. His bald head and stern expression convey a sense of wisdom and experience gained through a successful career in finance and politics. Born in Prussia but of Swedish descent, Cassel made his fortune in London as a partner in the merchant banking firm, S. Bleichroeder & Co. He was also a close advisor to King George V and played a significant role in financing the British war effort during World War I. This portrait, a testament to Zorn's realist artistic style, showcases the fashion of the time with intricate details of Cassel's clothing, from the crisp pleats of his trousers to the textured fabric of his suit jacket. The etching technique adds depth and texture to the image, making the details pop and the subject come alive. The portrait is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on the artistic movements of the early 20th century, realism, and portraiture. It is currently housed in the Prints and Drawings department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
