Description from the seller

Gustav Klimt:
Title: “The Kiss, 1907-1908”.
Color offset lithograph.
Condition: the work is in excellent condition.

Egon Schiele was an important figurative painter from Austria in the 20th century. He produced an abundance of vibrant paintings and drawings, the vast majority of which depict the naked female form.

As a protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele became known for his raw, psychological intensity and bold representations 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 unreserved 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.

Today, Schiele's works are among the most sought-after on the art market. Original drawings and paintings regularly fetch multi-million-dollar prices at major auction houses. Paintings such as Houses with Colorful Laundry (1914) have earned more than $40 million, while his expressive figure drawings are highly valued by collectors around the world.

Never framed and kept in a dark archival storage facility between protective acid-free paper.
