More about this artwork
The artwork features a sketched portrait of a man viewed in profile facing left. His expression is serene, with a closed eye and mildly downturned mouth, contributing to a peaceful, contemplative demeanor. There is a distinctive technique in the linework, capturing detailed contours and textures in the man's facial features, including his pronounced cheekbones, the creased brow, and the fullness of his lip. The strokes are loose but articulate, suggesting maturity and depth in the subject's visage.

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.
