About the piece

Painted by Edvard Munch between 1919 and 1921, this work is a quintessential example of his later expressionist style. The composition features a woman in a vibrant blue robe in the foreground, with the artist himself standing in a doorway behind her, creating a sense of narrative depth through bold brushstrokes and a saturated, high-contrast palette.
