More about this artwork

Egon Schiele’s "Self-portrait" from 1914 is a compelling glimpse into the artist's introspective exploration, showcasing his distinctive style of stark emotion and raw expressiveness. This drawing captures the essence of Schiele’s work, characterized by its candid introspection and the use of gaunt, sinewy lines that map the contours of his face and gaze.In the self-portrait, Schiele depicts himself with half-closed eyes and a solemn, slightly turned face, suggesting a moment of deep personal reflection. The sketch is marked by an economy of line—each stroke deliberatively placed, yet brimming with energy, conveying both vulnerability and the intensity of self-scrutiny. The spirals of his hair and the detailed, expressive lines on his face draw the viewer into a silent dialogue with the artist.This work is a prime example of Schiele’s ability to convey emotion through physical representation, encapsulating his inner turmoil and existential angst. It serves not only as a self-portrait but also as an emblematic expression of the human condition, all rendered in the artist's provocatively personal and graphic style.

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.
