🖼 Portrait of Paris von Gütersloh, 1918
Oil on canvas
140 × 110 cm

Angular, contorted features emerge from muted tones in this psychological portrait, rendered with Schiele's characteristic expressionist intensity. The sitter's distorted form captures modernist anxiety while challenging conventional portraiture's flattering conventions.
