 | | After two years Zorn produced a vivid portrait of Haig himself, though more freedom in its linear treatment marked the Christian Aspelin of the same year; but it was not, indeed, till the year 1889, when he had etched some thirty plates in all, that Zorn began to be really interesting in line. |
| | There was something about a singing mouth that always appealed sympathetically to Zorn's genius, whether it was that of the trained vocalist of the opera or the drawing-room, the boon-companionable artist with his convivial song, or the Dalecarlian peasant girl singing to the accompaniment of her guitar the traditional ballads of her country. |
| | Loys Delteil, in his catalogue of Zorn's etchings, says this great etching was made from a pencil drawing done from life, though Zorn seems to have thought he worked direct on the copper in Renan's presence; perhaps he intended to, but the etching has all the direct and spontaneous appearance of original drawing. |
