About the piece

Created in 1910, this striking portrait of art critic Arthur Roessler is a definitive example of Egon Schiele's Expressionist style. The composition is anchored by the sitter's exaggerated, expressive hands and a sophisticated use of warm sienna tones, all contrasted against a luminous, neutral backdrop that emphasizes the figure's psychological presence.
