More about this artwork

The composition features a stark, roughly textured background in shades of warm beige interspersed with faint smudges of orange and specks of other debris, suggesting a sense of age or deterioration. Dominating the painting is an angular, black ladder with a simplified, graphic design that is sharply skewed to one side, creating a broken or distorted perspective. The harsh black lines of the ladder starkly contrast against the softer, worn background, emphasizing the form and rendering the ladder almost three-dimensional. The ladder's bend is not just a deformity but is suggestive of movement or collapse, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise static background.

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.
