Self-Portrait. Between the Clock and the Bed. is a 1940–1943 self-portrait painting by Edvard Munch which is one of his last major works. Munch depicts himself as an unhappy, aging man who appears frozen and flattened.[1] Behind him is a bright room full of light and past paintings, but he has placed his current self between a clock and a bed, symbolising the inevitable passing of time and where he will eventually lie down for the final time.[2]
