More about this artwork
This Schiele artwork depicts a naked female figure sitting in a contorted pose on the ground. Her left arm stretches outwards while her right arm bends at the elbow, framing her bent right leg. Her left leg extends, with the foot pointed and resting on the floor. The drawing captures the woman in a dynamic, angular pose, emphasizing her elongated limbs and the curves of her body. The lines are sharp and somewhat abrupt, creating an almost raw, unpolished feel to the depiction.

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.
