About the piece

Painted in 1910, this portrait of Herbert Reiner is a significant early work by Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele. Known affectionately as 'Reinerbub,' the subject is captured with Schiele's signature psychological intensity, emphasized by the dramatic contrast between the subject's rich red clothing and the swirling, agitated impasto of the neutral backdrop.
