Woman in a Blue Coat

"Woman in a Blue Coat," painted in 1925, is a captivating piece by Edvard Munch, and you can find it right here in the Munch Museum. This painting portrays a woman who seems to meet our gaze directly, her presence emphasized by the vibrant blue of her coat and the contrasting red of her hat. Munch places her within a verdant park setting, the greens of the grass and trees playing off the colors of her attire. Notice how the light enters the painting from the left, casting subtle shadows to the right, adding depth and a sense of tranquility to the scene.
