Alpha and Omega: The Wife Omega and the Donkey

Edvard Munch

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of a woman and a donkey. The woman sits on the ground on the left, her knees bent and feet on the left. She is nude with long hair. The woman holds the donkey's head in her hands. The donkey lies on its side across the center of the image, looking to the left. On the right, another nude woman stands on a pedestal with her arms raised. The background features a forest landscape with trees and a mountain range across the top. The artist's signature appears in the bottom right corner. The overall style of the sketch is expressive and emotive, with bold lines and simple forms. The mood of the image is introspective and contemplative. The woman, the donkey and the second woman appear to be in a natural setting.
