More about this artwork
The painting depicts a young girl with a gentle expression. Her hair is swept back, perhaps pinned or tied in a subtle way, and wisps escape around her face, adding a touch of softness. Her gaze seems introspective and direct, meeting the viewer with a quiet confidence or contemplation. The lines defining her features are delicate yet distinct, capturing the subtlety of youthful features. Her attire, though only lightly detailed at the collar, suggests a simple, unembellished top. The background is bare, focusing all attention on her expression and the fine details of her visage.

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.
