Finally I finished, exhausted.
1:05:25
I had brought out a good deal
of the first impression,
1:05:32
the trembling mouth,
1:05:34
the transparent shine and the tired eyes
1:05:41
but the colours in the painting
were not finished.
1:05:45
It was pale and grey.
The painting was heavy as lead.

At almost the last stage,
Munch attacks the canvas again,
1:06:00
scoring deep into the oil,
1:06:02
and, in one gesture of
broad sweeping strokes,
1:06:06
eliminates the carefully executed
1:06:08
window, curtains and flowerpot
1:06:11
on the right-hand side
of the canvas.
1:06:14
The final distracting details
1:06:16
have gone.
