SCHIELE, Egon: Edith Schiele, Seated

🖼 Edith Schiele, Seated, 1915
Gouache, watercolor, and graphite on paper
50.5 × 38.8 cm
The Hague, Netherlands

Angular, contorted limbs dominate this portrait of a seated woman rendered in Schiele's characteristic expressionist style with sharp, unsettling gestures. His wife Edith's psychological intensity emerges through distorted form, establishing Schiele's revolutionary approach to figurative art and emotional portraiture in early twentieth-century modernism.
