SCHIELE, Egon: Sitting girl (Sitzendes Mädchen)

🖼 Sitting girl (Sitzendes Mädchen), 1911
München, Germany

Angular limbs and contorted posture dominate this portrait, rendered in Schiele's characteristic expressionist line work. The painting captures psychological intensity and emotional rawness, exemplifying early 20th-century Austrian modernism's rejection of academic beauty standards.
