Explore Anders Zorn's Morning Glory Sculpture in Stockholm's Rosenbadsparken.

Morning Glory, created by Anders Zorn in 1908-1909, is a bronze sculpture found in both Zorngårdens garden in Mora and Stockholm's Rosenbadsparken. Originally named 'Svampen', it was later renamed 'Morning Glory'. This piece is one of Zorn's last sculpture works, standing one meter tall. The bronze figure depicts a nude woman pressing her hands around a mushroom, with water spraying from the mushroom, running down the figure's body, and flowing into a fountain basin. Morning Glory shares the artistic expression of Zorn's bathing women in many of his paintings. The original sculpture was cast at Otto Meyer's art foundry in Stockholm, with one example displayed at the Venice art exhibition.
