Munch's interior scene shows a solitary figure, a young woman, looking out of a window at an unseen exterior. The curtains billow; the floor is rendered in bold, simplified planes. The mood — of longing, isolation, or reverie — is entirely characteristic of Munch's psychological approach to figure painting.
