More about this artwork
The painting features an intimate embrace between two figures, a woman and a child. The woman, sitting behind the child, wraps her arms around the young girl in a protective and tender manner. The child, whose face is gently resting against the woman’s body, looks downward. Both figures are nude, emphasizing vulnerability and naturalism. The lines of the drawing are delicate yet expressive, capturing the contours of their bodies and the softness of their embrace. The background is plain, focusing all attention on the emotional connection between the two figures. The overall composition conveys a sense of closeness and maternal affection.

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.
