More about this artwork
The painting depicts a woman standing straight and facing forward, her expression slightly pensive with large, round eyes looking directly at the viewer. She sports a voluminous, multicolored striped dress with long sleeves and a wide, dark belt cinching in at the waist. The stripes on her dress are vibrant and diverse in color, creating a bold visual impact. She wears a delicate white blouse under the dress, detailed with ruffles around the neckline, and her hair is styled in a high, elaborated coiffure. Her feet are clad in simple white shoes, contrasting with the elaborate attire.

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.
