EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Egon Schiele's masterpiece, "Reclining Nude; Liegender Akt". Created in 1918 using pencil and charcoal on paper, this artwork exudes a raw sensuality that is characteristic of Schiele's unique style. The close-up portrait-style composition allows us to intimately connect with the subject - a female figure who gazes away from the viewer with an air of aversion. The artist skillfully captures the woman's posture as she leans back, her arms raised above her head in a graceful gesture. Her exposed breast adds an element of vulnerability to the scene, while her hand gesture hints at hidden emotions or thoughts. This three-quarter length drawing beautifully highlights Schiele's mastery of capturing human form and expression. As one of Austria's most renowned artists of the early 20th century, Egon Schiele pushed boundaries with his modern art approach. His use of charcoal creates striking contrasts between light and shadow, emphasizing every contour and line on the model's skin. Mounted on paper, this exquisite piece reflects both Schiele's technical expertise and his ability to evoke emotion through portraiture. With its timeless beauty and European charm, "Reclining Nude; Liegender Akt" remains a testament to Schiele’s artistic genius even over a century later.
