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.
