À propos du tableau
The portrait of Jean Burnay is an impressive example of Zorn’s astonishing skill in watercolour painting. It is also fascinating how the interior, the setting, is employed to enhance the subject of the portrait. Zorn takes a sofa as his only prop, but he uses it to heighten Burnay’s character. The figure appears as magnificent as a peacock with its tail feathers.

La vie entière1882
He begins to master etching
From 1882 he masters the technique of etching and goes on to create more than three hundred works. He works with one free stroke, using neither contour lines nor cross-hatching, and his etchings are a great success with artists and the public, prompting many imitations.
