More about this artwork
The painting depicts a seated man dressed in a light-colored suit with a textured fabric, possibly linen. His suit is detailed with buttons, and his shirt beneath also shows through. Positioned on a simple wooden chair, the man rests assuredly, with one hand over the other, and one leg crossed over the other subtly, conveying a mix of relaxation and formality. His expression is calm and introspective, eyes gazing slightly off to one side, almost as if lost in thought or observing something intently. His facial features are sharply rendered with bold outlines, highlighting his prominent bald head and thoughtful brows. The background behind him is a warm, mottled yellow, suggesting a diffuse, soft light and adding an ethereal atmosphere to 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.
