The Sin 1902

"The Sin" is a 1902 lithograph by Edvard Munch, a renowned Norwegian artist, known for his expressive and often disturbing depictions of human emotions and anxieties. This work features a woman with long, flowing hair that obscures much of her body. Her exposed torso and downcast gaze convey a sense of vulnerability and shame, reflecting the anxieties and moral dilemmas of the time. Munch's signature style, characterized by bold lines and dark shadows, heightens the drama and psychological intensity of the subject. The lithograph, a printmaking technique, allows for multiple reproductions, making the work accessible to a wider audience.
