"The Sick Child I" is a seminal painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, created in 1885-1886. This artwork marks a significant departure from the artist's earlier style and is often considered a breakthrough in his career, laying the groundwork for his later expressionist works. The painting is a deeply personal reflection of Munch's own life, as it captures the grief and despair he experienced at the death of his sister, Sophie, from tuberculosis when she was just 15 years old and he was 14.

Measuring 119.5 cm × 118.5 cm, "The Sick Child I" is an oil on canvas that depicts a young girl on her deathbed, with a grieving woman seated beside her, presumed to be her mother. The painting is characterized by its somber color palette and the rough, almost unfinished appearance of the brushwork, which conveys the emotional turmoil and the rawness of the scene. Munch's use of color and form in this work is often interpreted as an attempt to evoke the psychological intensity of the moment rather than to depict it with photographic realism.

The painting is the first in a series of six versions that Munch would create over the course of his life, each exploring the same theme. "The Sick Child I" is notable for its expression of human vulnerability and the universal experience of loss, themes that would recur throughout Munch's oeuvre. The work is a key example of Munch's early exploration of Symbolism, where he used visual art to express emotional states and psychological conditions.

"The Sick Child I" is held in the collection of the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and remains one of Munch's most poignant and influential works. It has been widely discussed in art historical literature for its innovative approach to color, texture, and its profound emotional impact, which paved the way for Expressionism in the early 20th century.
