SCHIELE, Egon: Portrait of Edith (the artist\’s wife)

🖼 Portrait of Edith (the artist\’s wife), 1915
Basel, Switzerland

Gaunt features and piercing eyes dominate this portrait, rendered in Schiele's characteristic angular, expressionistic style with sharp contours and muted tones. The work captures intimate vulnerability while reflecting early 20th-century Austrian modernism's psychological intensity and break from traditional portraiture.
