Puberty, 1914-1916, by Edvard Munch, 1863-1944, Norwegian Expressionist painting, oil on canvas. An adolescent girl, sits naked on the edge of a bed with her legs are pressed together while holding her hands in front of her body. She stares straight ahead with eyes wide open. Light entering the room from the left, casts a shadow on the wall, a symbol of the anxiety and fear of young girls awakening sexuality. (BSLOC_2023_4_50)
