Associated Names
Edvard Munch

Artist, Norwegian, 1863 - 1944

The image displays a full body illustration of a woman standing upright. Her posture is straight with both feet together, facing the viewer. The woman's facial features are minimally detailed, with a simple indication of eyes and mouth, and she has voluminous hair styled loosely around her head. She appears nude, depicted in an uncluttered manner with just basic line work defining her form. Surrounding her is a background featuring a sketchy drawing of a reclining figure in green, with loose, expressive lines that contrast with the more defined depiction of the standing woman. The overall background is plain and neutral, emphasizing the figures drawn in colored outlines. There is no jewelry visible, and the image is devoid of any additional objects or detailed setting elements.
