More about this artwork
In the painting, a man is portrayed sitting in a chair, his body directed forward towards the viewer. His expression is intense and somewhat troubled, with deep-set eyes staring out piercingly. He is dressed in a light, almost white crumpled shirt and loose beige trousers, complemented by a striking blue tie. The man's hands are raised and open, positioned near the level of his shoulders in a gesture that conveys a sense of surrender or expression. His face and hands stand out against a chaotic, thickly painted background in shades of red, orange, and yellow that add a vibrant yet tumultuous aura 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.
