Set Design for Henrik Ibsen's "Ghosts" is a 1906 tempera by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows an interior scene with three people in a room. The room is decorated with a red table, a black chair, and a tall orange object in the corner. The people are dressed in dark colors and are standing or sitting around the table. The painting is done in tempera and has a bold, expressive style. The colors are muted, with shades of blue, red, and yellow dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are loose and gestural, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The painting appears to be a set design for a play, with the three people possibly representing characters from the story.
