death in the sickroom, 1893
death in the sickroom goes back to the memory of the death of munch`s beloved sister, sophie. otherwise the models are depicted at the ages they were when the motif was painted, not their ages when the event took place. here munch may have wished to express a dimension of contemporaneousness - demonstrating that the family would always be affected by sophie`s death.
