A striking pencil drawing by Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, this intimate portrait captures a woman with his characteristically raw, angular linework and psychological intensity. Schiele's masterful use of contour and sparse shading reveals his subject with an unnerving directness, stripping away idealization to expose something deeply human and vulnerable. The work exemplifies his extraordinary draftsmanship and his ability to convey emotional complexity through the economy of pencil on paper.
