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

🖼 Portrait of the artist\’s wife, Edith Schiele, 1918
Vienna, Austria

Angular features and haunted eyes dominate this portrait, rendered in Schiele's signature expressionist style with raw, unsettling intensity. Painted during wartime upheaval, this intimate study of his wife reveals psychological vulnerability and the artist's obsession with human vulnerability.
