Ragnhild Bäckström c. 1894

"Ragnhild Bäckström" is a portrait by Edvard Munch from c. 1894, depicting a young woman with a soft expression. The painting's muted palette of green, brown, and beige creates a sense of intimacy, and the loose brushstrokes contribute to the painting's overall expressive quality. This portrait is a glimpse into the artist's early work before he became known for his iconic symbolist style, and it reflects a shift in his artistic language, moving away from naturalism towards a more subjective approach.
