Portrait of Frederick Delius 1920

Edvard Munch's "Portrait of Frederick Delius" (1920) is a striking charcoal drawing that captures the essence of the renowned English composer. Known for his expressive lines and psychological depth, Munch portrays Delius with a sense of introspective intensity. The sitter's gaze is lowered, his features etched with a mixture of weariness and contemplation, highlighting Munch's ability to delve into the inner world of his subjects. The stark contrasts and dramatic shading create a sense of emotional weight, reflecting Munch's signature style often associated with the Expressionist movement.
