More about this artwork
The painting depicts a woman in a deeply bent pose, her body curving forward with her head bowed almost to her knees. Her hands are crossed just below the knees, either clutching or providing support. The lines creating her form are fluid yet expressive, capturing a subtle tension in her pose. The drawing’s background is sparse, emphasizing the figure's contours and posture prominently. Her hair flows down her back, partially obscured by her body, adding a softness to the otherwise stark depiction. The woman's physical expression might convey a sense of introspection or burden.

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.
