The Sick Child I 1896

Edvard Munch's "The Sick Child I" (1896) is a haunting lithograph depicting a young girl lying in bed, her face pale and drawn. The artist's signature style, characterized by expressive lines and psychological intensity, creates a sense of unease and vulnerability. The background features a shadowy figure, adding to the atmosphere of illness and impending death. This piece is considered a pivotal work in the development of Expressionism, a movement that explored the emotional and psychological aspects of human experience.
