More about this artwork

The painting titled "Portrait of Käte Perls," created by Edvard Munch in 1913, presents a striking and introspective portrayal of a woman seated against a softly abstracted background. The central figure, presumably Käte Perls, is depicted with a contemplative and somewhat distant gaze, suggesting an inner depth or preoccupation.Munch's use of vivid colors is noticeable here, particularly in the rendering of the woman's fiery red hair and the intense blue of her dress, which contrast sharply with the more muted and blended tones of the background. This color differentiation emphasizes the subject's form and the emotional intensity typically associated with Munch's work.Her posture, gently seated with hands folded on her lap, adds to the overall serenity yet somewhat melancholic mood of the piece. The looseness and expressiveness of Munch's brushwork align with his expressionist style, capturing more than just the physical likeness of Käte Perls but also hinting at a psychological richness beneath the surface.The background, rendered in washes of green and blue with forms that suggest foliage or shadows, provides an atmospheric quality that complements the figure.

Edvard Munch (12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter. His best known work, The Scream (1893), has become one of Western art's most iconic images.

His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania (today's Oslo), Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state ('soul painting'); from this emerged his distinctive style.
