Description from the seller
Egon Schiele: “Portrait of a Woman, 1910”.
Authorized color offset lithograph, produced on premium matte (non-reflective) and with high color intensity.
Condition: the work is in excellent condition.
Egon Schiele (1890-1918) was an Austrian painter and one of the most provocative and influential figures of early modern art. As a protegé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele became known for his raw, psychological intensity and bold depictions of the human form. His work broke with the ornamental sensuality of the Viennese Secession and introduced a radical honesty that explored vulnerability, sexuality, and the complexity of human emotions.
Schiele's distinctive style is characterized by expressive line work, distorted anatomy, and a striking use of color and space. His portraits and nudes, often confrontational in their gaze and posture, reveal an unrestrained exploration of desire and identity. The artist's ability to capture both physical tension and psychological depth sets him apart from his contemporaries and confirms him as a central figure in the transition from Symbolism to Expressionism.
“Portrait of a Woman” was made at the beginning of the 20th century and depicts a woman seen from the side. The woman is dressed in a black-and-white outfit that contrasts with the red of her lips and hair, thereby emphasizing her beauty even more.
Throughout his career, his drawing style evolved in his search for the perfect representation of the female form. In 1912 Schiele produced ‘Seated Woman,’ in which a red-haired woman holds a green dress. Schiele added smaller vertical lines above the main contours of the female body to create a three-dimensional effect and to intensify the shading.
Today, Schiele's works are among the most sought-after on the art market. Original drawings and paintings regularly achieve multi-million-dollar prices at major auction houses. Paintings such as Houses with Colorful Laundry (1914) have earned more than 40 million dollars, while his expressive figure drawings are highly valued by collectors worldwide.
