SCHIELE, Egon: Dr. Ernst Wagner

🖼 Dr. Ernst Wagner, 1918
Washington, United States

Stark angular lines define the sitter's gaunt face, rendered in Schiele's characteristic expressionist style with acidic yellows and raw brushwork. Wagner's penetrating gaze and skeletal form reveal Schiele's psychological intensity, capturing early 20th-century Austrian modernism's obsession with inner turmoil.
