"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 piece that prefigures his later expressionist works. The painting is a poignant depiction of Munch's personal grief, as it is based on the traumatic memory of his sister Johanne Sophie's death from tuberculosis at the age of 15, an event that deeply affected Munch and influenced his artistic trajectory.

Measuring 119.5 cm × 118.5 cm, "The Sick Child I" is executed in oil on canvas and is characterized by its somber palette and the emotional intensity of the figures portrayed. The composition focuses on the figure of the sick girl, Sophie, who is seated in a chair with a despairing female figure, likely her mother, beside her. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible brushstrokes and a rough texture that contribute to the painting's emotional rawness and sense of immediacy.

The work is notable for its expression of human suffering and the existential themes that would become central to Munch's oeuvre. It represents a significant moment in the development of expressionism, as Munch moves away from the detailed realism of his academic training towards a more symbolic and emotionally charged style. "The Sick Child I" was met with mixed reactions when first exhibited, with some critics denouncing its unconventional technique, while others recognized the power and originality of Munch's vision.

"The Sick Child I" is the first in a series of six versions that Munch would create over the course of his life, each revisiting the same poignant subject matter and demonstrating the artist's ongoing engagement with the themes of illness, death, and loss. The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, and remains one of Munch's most profound and celebrated works.
