More about this artwork
The painting captures a young boy sitting cross-legged on a brown surface. His body is depicted with minimal clothing, revealing his entire torso, arms, and legs. The boy's skin is illustrated with a light tone, contrasted by patches of brown shading and bold outlines that emphasize his slender form. His hair is roughly styled, adding a sense of wildness or dishevelment to his appearance.He is portrayed in a moment of deep introspection or contemplation, his gaze focused intently on his right hand, which he holds slightly raised and open before him as if examining it or lost in his thoughts about it. The expression on his face and the positioning of his body convey a mixture of vulnerability and concentration. His other hand rests by his side, relaxed yet also expressive in its delicate placement.The background of the painting is sparse, undecorated, and maintains a plain, uniform color that focuses attention solely on the figure of the boy.

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.
