Jens Thiis 1909

"Jens Thiis" is a portrait painting by Edvard Munch, painted in 1909. The painting, which depicts Jens Thiis, a prominent Norwegian art collector, is a masterful example of Munch's expressive style. The figure stands against a pale background, with a simplified form and bold strokes of color. The dark tones of Thiis' clothing emphasize his somber expression and the starkness of the composition. The painting is currently housed at the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway.
