The artwork, which is housed in the National Gallery of Oslo, Norway, uses a muted palette and evocative brushstrokes to convey a sense of profound sorrow. Munch’s style of painting is characterized by its emotional intensity and focus on the human condition, particularly themes of death and anxiety.
