This is the artwork "Sitting Woman with Raised Knees" (also known as "Sitting Woman with Elevated Knees") from 1917 by the Austrian Expressionist painter Egon Schiele. The original is part of the collection of the National Gallery in Prague. Egon Schiele was an important figurative painter of the 20th century from Austria. He produced an abundance of vibrant paintings and drawings, the vast majority of which depict the nude female form. As a protege of Gustav Klimt, Schiele became known for his raw psychological intensity and daring depictions of the human form. His work broke with the ornamental sensuality of the Viennese Secession and introduced a radical honesty that explored vulnerability, sexuality, and the complexity of human emotions. Schiele's distinctive style is characterized by expressive line work, distorted anatomy, and a striking use of color and space. His portraits and nudes, often confrontational in their gaze and pose, reveal an unguarded exploration of desire and identity. The artist's ability to capture both physical tension and psychological depth sets him apart from his contemporaries and affirms him as a central figure in the transition from Symbolism to Expressionism. Today, Schiele's works are among the most sought-after on the art market. Original drawings and paintings regularly fetch prices in the millions of dollars at major auction houses. Paintings such as Houses with Colorful Laundry (1914) have brought in more than 40 million dollars, while his expressive figure drawings are highly valued by collectors worldwide.
