SCHIELE, Egon: Death and the Maiden

Skeletal Death embraces a swooning maiden in contorted poses, rendered in urgent charcoal and gouache. Schiele's expressionist masterpiece confronts mortality and desire, reflecting wartime anxiety while establishing him as modernism's most unflinching chronicler of human fragility.
