Alma Mater: Fragment is a 1910 charcoal by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows a woman's figure, partially sketched and partially painted. The woman is nude, with her body facing to the left and her head turned to the right. Her skin is rendered in soft, muted colors. The background of the painting is a light beige color, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet intimacy, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment. The painting's use of muted colors and soft brushstrokes creates a sense of subtlety and restraint.
