Between Secession and Expressionism

In this modest portrait, you can see features of the Vienna Secession and of Schiele's later Expressionist work. That mix makes it an Art Nouveau woman figurine with a modern edge.

The Schiele sister portrait dates to 1908 and 1909. Gerti was his younger sister, and she often posed for him.

Egon Schiele in Brief

Egon Schiele lived from 1890 to 1918. Gustav Klimt mentored him from 1907. He died of the Spanish flu at 28, and this Egon Schiele figurine honors a short, intense career.
