More about this artwork

In Egon Schiele's painting "Die Umarmung," two figures are depicted in a close embrace. The bodies are intertwined, with one figure partially enveloping the other in a protective manner. Both figures are naked, exposing the raw and detailed contours of their muscles and bones, characteristic of Schiele's style. Their skin tones vary in shades of pale pink and ochre, accentuating the physicality and vulnerability of their pose. The figures' faces are obscured by dark, flowing hair, emphasizing the intimacy and anonymity of the moment. They are nestled within a tangled mass of white and blue linens, which contrast starkly with the earthy tones of their bodies and the muted green and yellow background.

Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.
