More about this artwork

"Squatting Woman" (1918) is a compelling example of Egon Schiele's emotive and expressive artistry. In this drawing, Schiele captures a nude figure in a state of raw vulnerability, crouched into an intimate and intricate pose. The woman is depicted with her head resting downward and her limbs folded closely to her body, conveying a profound sense of inward reflection or melancholy.The work’s minimalistic lines on a muted, earth-toned backdrop distinguish it from the more detailed and colorful pieces typical of Schiele's oeuvre. Yet, it is this very simplicity that draws the viewer's attention directly to the emotional gravity of the figure’s posture. The artist’s use of sparse, but deliberate strokes allows the observer to focus on the curvature of the body and the subtle interplay of light and shadow abstractly hinted at by the line work.This piece exemplifies Schiele's fascination with the human form and his ability to convey complex human emotions through distorted figures and unconventional poses.

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.
