About the piece
Created in 1883, this study by Edvard Munch captures a quiet, contemplative moment. The warm, earthy tones of the subject's long reddish hair are offset by her dark clothing and the muted background, demonstrating Munch's masterful handling of light and texture during his early period at the National Museum of Art.
