About this work

This painting is a sketchy, unfinished piece with a lot of blank space. It features a few figures, some of which are faceless, and a rainbow arcing over them. The colors are muted, with lots of grays and whites. The figures seem to be in various states of undress, and some of them appear to be embracing or touching each other. The overall mood is dreamy and intimate. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this piece, check out Edvard Munch.
