More about this artwork
The painting portrays a man seated in a profile view, his body angled slightly away from the viewer. His head is turned to the side, revealing a prominent, sharp nose and a full, slightly parted lips. The man's facial features are depicted with bold, expressive lines and a vivid interplay of colors, including shades of red, blue, and purple, giving his skin an unusual tone. His hair is styled in a messy way, streaked with colors that match the tone of his face.He wears a long, dark coat that appears to envelop his form, rendered with thick, textural brushstrokes in deep blues and hints of green and purple. The background of the painting is minimal, a plain, unadorned beige that shifts the focus entirely to the figure. The name "Max Kahrer" is inscribed on the painting, suggesting the identity of the subject.

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.
