Alpha and Omega: The Wife Omega and the Donkey is a 1908 by Edvard Munch, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman kneeling beside a donkey, her hand resting on its head. Behind them, two tall figures stand by a body of water, their arms raised. The scene looks like a quiet, dreamy moment, with loose, sketchy lines everywhere. The woman’s calm pose with the donkey stands out—it feels gentle and strange at the same time. The two standing figures in the background add mystery, but their exact meaning isn’t clear from the drawing alone. Next, check out Edvard Munch to see how his other works use similar loose, expressive lines.
Edvard Munch ( MUUNK; Norwegian: ; 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter.
