English: Zorn worked primarily in watercolours during the 1880s. With virtuosity, he portrayed reflections and other light effects in images of everyday situations. The model here is Emma Lamm, who married Zorn in October 1885. The watercolour was painted the same year, quite possibly on their honey-moon, which took the couple via Vienna and Budapest to Constantinople. The viewer is looking up, at an angle, at Emma with the light behind her. The sun shines through her Japanese parasol with its painted decoration. Under 1880-talet arbetade Zorn främst i akvarell. Virtuost skildrade han reflexer och andra ljuseffekter i bilder av vardagliga situationer. Modellen här är Emma Lamm som gifte sig med Zorn i oktober samma år som akvarellen är målad. Förmodligen kom den till under bröllopsresan som gick över Wien och Budapest till Konstantinopel. Betraktaren ser Emma i motljus, snett underifrån. Solen lyser igenom hennes japanska parasoll med målad dekor.
