About the piece

Created in 1914, this self-portrait by Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele features the artist in a brilliant yellow vest, rendered in gouache and pencil. The piece exemplifies Schiele's masterfully distorted anatomy and intense emotionality, characteristic of the early 20th-century avant-garde. Its graphic quality and bold palette make it a compelling focal point for modern and eclectic interior spaces.
