More about this artwork
The image portrays a profile view of a young man, sketched with orange and brown hues on a textured paper. His hair is swept back, revealing a well-defined ear and forehead. The man's facial features are precisely outlined, with emphasis on the contour of his nose, lips, and chin. Subtle shading accentuates his cheek, indicating the volume and form of the face. His attire is hinted at with minimal detail, showing just the collar of his shirt. In the background, an incomplete, faintly drawn second profile suggests the beginning of another figure.

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.
