About the Artist
Egon Schiele was a leading figure of Austrian Expressionism and one of the most uncompromising draftsmen of early twentieth century Vienna. As a student at the Akademie and a close associate of Gustav Klimt, Schiele developed a distinctive approach to the human figure that challenged traditional ideals and delved into psychological complexity.
This piece is part of our Egon Schiele collection and also appears in the famous artists selection, offering collectors a glimpse into the radical spirit of Viennese modernism.
The Artwork
Created in 1914, this standing nude reflects a period when Schiele was exploring the boundaries of representation and self-expression. In the context of prewar Vienna, where questions of morality and identity were hotly debated, Schiele's work stood out for its directness and emotional intensity.
The artwork presents the nude figure without embellishment or narrative, compelling the viewer to engage with themes of vulnerability, presence, and individuality. This print captures the tension and honesty that defined Schiele’s contribution to modern art.
Style & Characteristics
The composition is stark and frontal, with the figure centrally placed against an open, neutral background. A vivid orange drapery accentuates the form, while the use of strong black contours and beige paper tones creates a striking graphic effect.
Schiele’s expressive linework and selective application of color emphasize the anatomy and psychological presence of the subject. The mood is both confrontational and intimate, making this art print a compelling choice for those who appreciate modernist figurative work.

In Interior Design
This print serves as a powerful focal point in spaces such as bedrooms, dressing areas, or studies where a singular, evocative artwork is desired. It pairs well with warm neutrals, linen fabrics, and subtle touches of orange to echo the drapery in the composition.
Its modernist aesthetic complements minimalist, contemporary, and classic interiors, especially when framed simply. For framing options, see our frames collection.
