More about this artwork
The portrait depicts a man gazing directly at the viewer with an intense and somewhat piercing expression. His eyes are sharply drawn, capturing a strong emotion or perhaps a moment of thoughtfulness. His hair is styled in an unconventional manner, swept back but with voluminous, wavy locks that suggest a lot of movement, almost unkempt or deliberately casual. The man's facial features are distinct and carefully detailed, particularly his slightly furrowed brows and the notable mustache above his full lips. There appears to be a slight shadow of a beard on his chin and jawline, enhancing the rugged aspect of his appearance. The artist's sketchy yet precise strokes add a raw texture to the overall demeanor of the subject, creating an aura of a bohemian or intellectual man from the early 20th century.

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.
