About the piece
Painted in 1882, this early work by Edvard Munch captures Thorvald Torgersen with a remarkable sense of presence. The piece demonstrates Munch's mastery of oil on cardboard, using confident, visible brushstrokes and a grounded palette of ochre, grey, and deep charcoal to create a compelling psychological study.
