Munch – Study of a Model | Figurative Oil Sketch 1898

Loosely rendered female figure with warm flesh tones against muted background, expressive brushwork capturing intimate studio atmosphere

This 1898 study reveals Munch’s rapid, almost feverish approach to capturing the human form during private studio sessions. The visible brushstrokes and unfinished quality expose his working method—prioritizing emotional presence over anatomical precision. The model emerges from shadow with a vulnerability characteristic of his psychological explorations.
