SCHIELE, Egon: Reclining Woman

🖼 Reclining Woman, 1917
Vienna, Austria

Contorted limbs and raw brushstrokes depict an intimate female figure in vulnerable repose, rendered with unflinching expressionist intensity. Schiele's 1917 work epitomizes Austrian modernism's psychological depth, challenging beauty conventions through corporeal honesty and emotional exposure.
