About this work

This painting is a charcoal sketch on a beige background, featuring faint outlines of people and objects. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the soft, muted tones of the charcoal creating a sense of subtlety and restraint. In the foreground, a figure sits in a chair, surrounded by the gentle curves of a table and the soft folds of a tablecloth. The artist's use of charcoal creates a sense of texture and depth, drawing the viewer's eye into the quiet intimacy of the scene. The Munch Museum is home to many works by Edvard Munch, including this charcoal sketch.
