Edvard Munch

Artist, Norwegian, 1863 - 1944

The image is a woodcut print showing the upper half of a person in a seated position with their body slightly turned to the side. The person's facial features are stylized with minimal detail, and the hair is dark and blends with the background. They wear a garment that drapes over their shoulders and arms, with no distinct clothing details visible. The background shows the wood grain pattern of the print, with knots and lines running vertically across the image. There are no visible jewelry or objects, with the focus on the interplay of light and dark contrasts within the woodcut.
