Edvard Munch painted "The Girl by the Window" in 1893, the same year as his famous work, "The Scream."
Inspired by time spent in Paris and Berlin among the Impressionists and Symbolists, Munch explored bold colors and emotional themes. In "The Girl by the Window," a young girl in her nightgown stands in a darkened room gazing out at the city. The steep angle of the floor and the deep shadows that obliterate everything in the room, save a suggestion of a piece of furniture at the lower right, create an unsettling and enigmatic scene.
