Egon Schiele (12 juni 1890 – 31 oktober 1918) was een Oostenrijkse schilder. Schiele was een protegé van Gustav Klimt en een belangrijke figuratieve schilder van het vroege 20e eeuw. Zijn werk staat bekend om zijn intensiteit en ruwe seksualiteit en de vele zelfportretten die de kunstenaar maakte. De gedraaide lichaamsvormen en expressieve lijn die Schiele's werken kenmerken, markeren de kunstenaar als een vroege exponent van het expressionisme.
