More about this artwork
The painting depicts a young boy dressed in a vibrant, textured red robe that envelops his body, highlighting the subtle contours and folds. His hands rest gently in front of him, suggesting a moment of stillness. His face, marked by distinct, sharp features and pale skin, contrasts with the deep reds of his attire. His expression is serene yet penetrating, with eyes that gaze directly forward, seemingly locking with the viewer's. The background is a muted, textured beige, providing a stark canvas that accentuates the figure and his vivid garment.

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.
