SCHIELE, Egon: Portrait of Edith Schiele with striped dress

🖼 Portrait of Edith Schiele with striped dress, 1915
Vienna, Austria

Stark verticals of striped fabric frame an angular face rendered in bold, acidic greens and purples. Schiele captures his wife's psychological intensity through distorted proportions and raw, expressionistic color—a radical departure from conventional portraiture that defines early twentieth-century Austrian modernism.
