About the piece
Created in 1894, this evocative pastel portrait by Edvard Munch depicts Ragnhild Bäckström with the artist's signature psychological depth and expressive line work. The soft texture of the pastel on canvas enhances the atmospheric quality of the sitter’s gaze and the rich, earthy tones of her 19th-century attire.
