"The Sick Girl" (Norwegian: "Syk pike") is a poignant painting by the Norwegian realist artist Christian Krohg, created between 1880 and 1881. This work is one of Krohg's most famous and is considered a seminal piece in the transition from romanticism to naturalism in Scandinavian art. The painting is a powerful example of Krohg's social realism and his commitment to portraying the hardships of everyday life in the late 19th century.

The painting depicts a young girl lying on a bed, appearing weak and ill, with a grief-stricken older woman, presumably her mother, sitting beside her. The scene is set in a modest interior, suggesting a working-class environment. The somber mood is accentuated by the subdued color palette and the intimate, yet stark, portrayal of the figures. Krohg's attention to detail and the emotional depth of the subjects reflect his concern with the human condition and the social issues of his time.

Christian Krohg (1852-1925) was a central figure in the Norwegian art scene and a leading artist of the Skagen Painters, a group of Scandinavian artists who gathered in the Danish village of Skagen each summer. His work often focused on the lives of the poor and the marginalized, and "The Sick Girl" is a testament to his empathetic approach to such subjects.

"The Sick Girl" has been widely exhibited and is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Norway, where it continues to be an important work for both its artistic merit and its historical significance in the development of Norwegian art. The painting not only captures a moment of personal tragedy but also serves as a commentary on the social issues of the era, including the lack of medical care for the less fortunate, making it a powerful piece of social advocacy as well as a work of art.
