Head of a Woman (Frauenkopf) 1905

Edvard Munch's "Head of a Woman (Frauenkopf)" (1905) is a powerful and expressive etching that captures the angst and emotionality characteristic of the artist's work. The woman's face, rendered with stark lines and dramatic shading, conveys a sense of melancholy and introspection. The stark contrasts and stylized features of this work, in keeping with Munch's signature Expressionist style, highlight the emotional turmoil of the subject. This striking portrayal of a woman's inner world has resonated with viewers for over a century.
