Seated Female Nude
Ca 1920
Edvard Munch, usually known for his screaming faces, shows a much quieter side here with this seated nude woman. Painted around 1920, the figure is huddled over, resting her head on her arms, wrapped in soft washes of green and blue. It feels like a private, fleeting moment captured in the artist's studio, far removed from the anxiety of his most famous works. The loose, sketchy lines suggest he was working quickly to capture the posture and mood rather than perfect details, typical of his later experimental years.
