Kneeling Woman with a Gray Cape, Egon Schiele Wally Neuzil Art Print

Rooted in the radical honesty of the early 20th-century Viennese Secession, this piece captures the raw vulnerability of Schiele’s most famous muse. The kneeling woman wall art features Wally Neuzil draped in a heavy gray cape, her form defined by the artist’s signature jagged, emotive linework.

About Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele (1890–1918) was an Austrian Expressionist and a protégé of Gustav Klimt. Schiele’s angular, nervous line and twisted poses made his figures raw and psychologically intense. Expressionist artists used bold colour and distorted forms to convey feeling rather than appearance. Expressionist art uses distorted forms and intense colour to show inner feeling.
