SCHIELE, Egon: Portrait of Otto Wagner

🖼 Portrait of Otto Wagner, 1910
Pencil, watercolour, opaque white
425 × 260 cm

Intense psychological scrutiny dominates this portrait, rendered through angular, expressionistic lines and raw, unflinching characterization. Schiele captures the renowned Austrian architect Otto Wagner with penetrating energy, establishing the artist's radical departure from academic portraiture into modernist psychological penetration.
