This woodcut is entitled «Eva» in exh. cat. Blomqvist 1917. The sitter???s full name was Eva Kittelsen. There is no information about her in the Munch-museet, nor is it definitely known when she modelled for Munch. The same image is sketched in black crayon on canvas, (??? Woll 1812 ???), and the same sitter is portrayed in cat.nos. 421, 446, and probably in 432. ??? Woll 2012, p. 295.
