Morgonbad by Anders Zorn

Morgonbad, 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 'Morgonbad'. 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. Morgonbad 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. One example was installed in Zorngårdens garden in Mora in June 1909, while another was placed in Stockholm's Rosenbadsparken the following year. A variant of Morgonbad is the bronze Fontänfigur from 1911, which became Zorn's final sculpture.
