More about this artwork
"Bildnis Dr. Franz Martin Haberditzl" (1917) by Egon Schiele is a compelling portrait that captures the image of Dr. Franz Martin Haberditzl, a jurist and art collector known to the artist. In this painting, Dr. Haberditzl is depicted seated, dressed in a formal, light-colored suit with a tie. His expression appears introspective and somewhat stern, with a focused gaze that seems to look beyond the canvas, conveying a sense of deep thought or concern.The seated figure is holding a piece of paper with a floral print, adding a touch of color and artistic flair to the composition. This element perhaps reflects Haberditzl’s interest in art, subtly hinted at through the depiction of the botanical artwork he holds.Schiele’s use of color and line is evident here, with the earthy tones of the subject’s clothing contrasting the darker, more muted background. The brushwork is expressive, contributing to the painting's intense emotional impact. Schiele's signature can be seen in one corner of the painting, symbolizing his connection and presence within the artwork.Overall, the painting is a striking example of Schiele's ability to convey psychological depth and personal identity through his distinctive and raw artistic 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.
