More about this artwork

"Head of a Woman" by Egon Schiele, painted in 1908, is a captivating work that communicates intense emotional and psychological depth through its expressive lines and textured implementation. This painting presents a close-up portrait of a woman, depicted in a style that showcases Schiele's distinctive approach to form and figure.The woman's face takes the center stage and is portrayed with bold, almost abrupt lines that trace the contours of her features. Her large, dark eyes gaze outward, creating a window to her soul and engaging the viewer directly. The hand delicately positioned against her cheek adds a layer of intimacy and introspection to the portrait.The choice of materials, with crayon on paper, and the natural color palette contribute a raw and textured appearance that is quintessentially Schiele. His exploratory style captures not just the physical likeness of the subject, but also an essence of her inner life, manifested through the intense gaze and the poignant positioning of her hand.This piece is an excellent representation of Schiele's early work and his lifelong fascination with capturing the emotional and psychological states of his subjects.

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.
