Old Man with Naked Woman on his Lap 1913 - 1915

Edvard Munch’s “Old Man with Naked Woman on His Lap” (1913-1915) showcases the artist’s signature expressive brushstrokes and psychological depth. The painting features a seated figure with a nude woman lying on his lap, their figures rendered with bold colors and gestural brushwork. The piece is a testament to Munch's fascination with human emotion, particularly exploring themes of desire and vulnerability. The work's raw and unfinished quality suggests the artist's focus on capturing fleeting moments of intense emotion, a hallmark of his Expressionist style.
