About the piece

Created in 1910, this self-portrait is a definitive example of Egon Schiele's radical Expressionism. The work utilizes distorted proportions and sharp, nervous lines to emphasize psychological depth, while the void-like background focuses the eye entirely on the physical and emotional vulnerability of the human form.
