Alma Mater: Fragment is a 1910 charcoal by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows a large, unfinished canvas with a few faint sketches. The main sketch is a person sitting on the right side, with a few lines suggesting a body and head. There's also a partial circle on the left, but it's hard to tell what it's supposed to be. The canvas is a light beige color with some darker brown spots and smudges. The painting has a rough, unfinished quality to it, with visible brushstrokes and a sense of spontaneity. The sketches are loose and expressive, giving the impression that the artist was working quickly and freely.
