"The Sick Child" is a painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, created in 1885-1886. It is one of Munch's most significant early works and marks a departure from the impressionist style that he initially adopted. The painting is a poignant representation of grief and illness, depicting the artist's personal trauma from the loss of his sister, Sophie, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 15 when Munch was just 14.

The artwork is considered a masterpiece of expressionism, a movement that Munch would become closely associated with, although "The Sick Child" predates the formal establishment of the movement. The painting's somber tones and the emotional intensity of the figures reflect Munch's exploration of psychological themes and his interest in capturing the human experience of suffering.

"The Sick Child" features a young girl propped up in bed, her face pale and her hair disheveled, suggesting the ravages of her illness. Beside her sits a woman, believed to be her mother, with her head bowed in despair. The brushwork is loose and the colors muted, conveying a sense of turmoil and emotional depth. This approach was somewhat controversial at the time, as it broke away from the polished finish that was prevalent in academic painting.

Munch revisited this deeply personal subject several times throughout his career, creating a series of six painted versions and numerous prints and lithographs. The original version of "The Sick Child" is housed in the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and remains a key work in understanding Munch's artistic development and the themes that would dominate his oeuvre, including illness, death, and emotional turbulence.

The painting has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and is often cited as a pivotal work in the transition from the more objective realism of the 19th century to the subjective expressionism of the 20th century. "The Sick Child" stands as a testament to Munch's innovative approach to art and his profound influence on the expressionist movement and modern art as a whole.
