About the piece

Painted in 1913, this work by Edvard Munch showcases the artist's mature expressionist style. The subject, a seated nude woman with long dark braids, is rendered with loose, energetic brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and raw emotion. The warm ochre and red tones of the background contrast with the cooler shades of the fabric beneath her, creating a striking and modern composition that holds its own in a gallery-style setting.
