The Hold in Copenhagen
Scrawled at the top is '1904 Bagholdet i København,' which translates to 'The Ambush in Copenhagen.' This energetic sketch by Edvard Munch—yes, the 'Scream' guy—shows a chaotic gathering of four figures around a table. One man stands triumphantly with a glass raised, while another stands completely naked to the right, looking like a classical statue gone rogue. It’s a fascinating glimpse into Munch’s bohemian life in Denmark, capturing a rowdy, almost caricature-like moment that feels very different from his usual dark, psychological themes.
