Girls picking Fruit (The Linde Frieze) is a 1904 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting depicts a group of women picking fruit from trees. The women are dressed in long skirts and blouses, and they are shown in various poses as they reach for the fruit. The trees are lush and green, with leaves and branches that fill the background of the painting. The colors used in the painting are muted, with shades of green, brown, and beige dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility, as if the women are lost in their task and unaware of the viewer's presence. The painting is reminiscent of the works of Edvard Munch, who was known for his expressive and emotive use of color and composition.
Edvard Munch ( MUUNK; Norwegian: ; 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter.
