Egon Schiele - "Kneeling Half-undressed Woman

Egon Schiele. Title: "Kneeling Half-undressed Woman, Bending to the Left, 1917". Signed in the plate. Authorized color offset lithograph. Condition: the work is in excellent condition. Format: 40 x 50 cm. Egon Schiele (1890-1918) was one of the most radical figures of Austrian Expressionism. A protegé of Gustav Klimt, he developed a very personal visual language characterized by angular lines, distorted anatomy, raw eroticism and unwavering psychological intensity. His work decisively broke with the academic ideals of beauty and instead focused on vulnerability, sexuality and existential tension. Despite his short life, cut short by the Spanish flu at only 28, Schiele produced an extraordinary amount of drawings, watercolors and paintings that have deeply shaped modern figurative art. In the art market, Schiele's works are among the most sought-after from the early 20th century. Large oil paintings regularly fetch tens of millions of euros at auction, while works on paper, especially signed, well-preserved drawings and watercolors, are also highly valued and often reach seven-figure prices. His rarity, historical importance and unmistakable style form the basis for a consistently strong and resilient market demand. Egon produced an abundance of vivid paintings and drawings, the vast majority of which depict the naked female form. Schiele painted his models often as the woman in 'Kneeling, Half-dressed Woman Bending to the Left', half-clothed and in a revealing pose, emphasizing female sexuality in a time of strict oppression of women.
