Comment:
Text from the exhibition "Edvard Munch and Henrik Ibsen" (1975): "It is quite clear that the ‘bride’ in this drawing leaves voluntarily, and is not being abducted. This may indicate that the drawing it instead a depiction of Peer and Solveig, though it is difficult to find a scene that fits."

Since there are no other drawings in this sketchbook that are clearly linked to "Peer Gynt", it is obviously possible that the motif has no connection with this play. On the other hand, the characteristic stabbur does not appear very often as a motif among Munch’s drawings, while it plays a central role in parts of "Peer Gynt", so we have chosen a title that at least suggests the possibility of a connection.
