Egon Schiele Ragazza in piedi 1910 Standing Girl Art Print

Before the contorted poses of his later years, Egon Schiele captured a haunting directness in his 1910 portrait of a young girl. This print showcases the artist’s shift toward the raw emotionality of expressionism, featuring a subject with braided hair and a crimson bow.

About Egon Schiele

Schiele’s angular, nervous line and twisted poses made his figures raw and psychologically intense. He died at 28 in the 1918 influenza pandemic, leaving a remarkably large body of drawings and paintings. Expressionism, which flourished in early 20th-century Germany and Austria, puts emotion before realism. The original dates from 1910. Groups such as Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter shaped Expressionism before the First World War.
