<p>The Austrian painter Egon Schiele's expressive portraits were an early foray into the Expressionist movement. His work is characterized by intense, bold lines and twisted figures.</p>
<p>The psychological intensity of Schiele's self-portraits is rarely encountered in his numerous studies of young women - many nude or provocatively dressed - who are treated in a detached manner as objects for formal analysis. Often isolated on a page, without any reference to their surroundings, these figures are exquisite studies in line, composition, and gesture. This portrait of a seated woman viewed from behind is expressive even though her face is hidden. The model was likely Schiele's wife, Edith Harms, then twenty-four, whom he married in 1915 and who died of influenza only three days before he did. Only partially dressed but with her strawberry-blond hair carefully coiffed, the figure wears a bright blue striped jacket over a white striped shirt - the attire of a respectable lady. Her lower body, however, is clad in the garments in which Schiele usually depicted prostitutes - a white lace slip and dark stockings. The marked difference between the two parts of her costume seems to reflect the artist's own ambivalent feelings about his wife, who is variously shown in his art as a cold virgin or a passionate lover.</p>
