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 figure of the early 20th century. Cassel was a Scandinavian-born British banker and financier, who rose to prominence in Prussian and British finance circles. Dressed in a formal suit and wearing a bald head, Cassel exudes an air of authority and sophistication. The artistic realism of Zorn's etching perfectly captures the essence of Cassel's occupation as a banker and capitalist, as well as his political connections. The portrait was likely commissioned by Cassel himself, as a representation of his wealth and success. The clothing and apparel in the image reflect the fashion trends of the time, with a focus on tailored suits and formal dress. The etching is a testament to the artistic movement of realism, which sought to depict subjects truthfully and without idealization. Today, this etching is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed in the Prints and Drawings department. It serves as a reminder of the heritage and history of art, as well as the significant role that finance and politics played in shaping the world during the 1900s.
