More about this artwork

Egon Schiele's "Standing Nude with Orange Drapery" is a captivating portrait of female vulnerability and strength that was created in 1914. This work features a nude female figure seated against a plain background, capturing the eye with her expressive pose and the striking orange drapery. Schiele, known for his intense and powerful depictions of the human form, uses his distinctive style to emphasize the raw physicality and emotion of the subject.The model's pose is both dynamic and introspective, with one arm raised, bending at the elbow to touch the back of her neck, and the other resting beside her. Her body is drawn with Schiele’s characteristic thin, contorted lines that convey a sense of tension and movement. The orange drapery adds a bold contrast, highlighting the figure while also serving as a symbol of passion and emotional intensity. The use of vibrant color amidst the predominantly muted tones draws attention to the complexities of the human condition, as explored through Schiele’s expressive line work.This painting invites viewers to delve into a deep narrative of self-reflection and the human psyche, portraying not just a figure, but a profound emotional and existential depth.

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.
