More about this artwork
In the painting, we see an old stone city gateway under which a horse-drawn carriage is passing. The carriage, notable for its vivid orange color, contrasts with the muted tones of the surrounding stone structures. To the left of the carriage, a man in period attire walks alongside, possibly leading or accompanying the carriage through the gate. The arch of the gateway is adorned with what appears to be a coat of arms, adding an element of heritage to the scene. Above, the gatehouse is capped with a conical red-tiled roof, enhancing the quaint, historical setting. Flanking the gate, there are buildings with visible windows and a hint of domestic life. The cobblestone path under the carriage and the human figure emphasizes the old-world charm of the scene.

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.
