Egon Schiele
Austrian · b. 1890

Schiele shared Pascin's expressive approach to figurative drawing with warm tones and an intense sensitivity to psychological interiority, particularly in his intimate portrait studies of children and young figures rendered with fluid, emotionally charged linework.

Käthe Kollwitz
German · b. 1867

Kollwitz brought deep empathy and tenderness to her drawings of children and intimate domestic subjects, using expressive mark making and warm tonal ranges to reveal the quiet emotional lives of her subjects in a manner closely aligned with Pascin's gentle observational approach.

George Grosz
German · b. 1893

Working in the same early 20th century figurative and expressionist tradition, Grosz produced intimate portrait drawings with sensitive observation of individual character, sharing Pascin's interest in capturing genuine human presence through warm toned, loosely expressive draftsmanship.
