Watercolor on paper. Featuring a drawing of a nude woman. Signed and attr. Egon Schiele (Austria 1890-1918). Signature on the lower left bottom. 17 x 12.5 in. (43.2 x 31.75 cm). A great innovator of modern figure painting, Egon Schiele is known for creating erotic and deeply psychological portraits, on many occasions using himself as the subject. Schiele often used color sparingly, his work identifiable instead by his characteristic sinuous black line. In his many self-portraits, Schiele is typically nude and staring directly towards the viewer, making the works both revealing and confrontational.
