Girl Kindling a Stove 1883

Edvard Munch’s “Girl Kindling a Stove,” painted in 1883, is a realistic depiction of a young woman in a humble setting. The girl, dressed in simple clothing, hunches over a stove as she carefully tends the fire. Munch's use of earthy tones and natural light contributes to the work's sense of realism and intimacy. The painting is a testament to Munch’s early exploration of themes of everyday life and the human condition.
