This is the artwork "Sitting Woman with Raised Knees" (also known as "Sitting Woman with Raised Legs") from 1917 by the Austrian Expressionist painter Egon Schiele. The original is in the collection of the National Gallery in Prague. Egon Schiele was an important figurative painter from Austria in the 20th century. He produced an abundance of vibrant paintings and drawings, the vast majority of which depict the naked female form. As a protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele became known for his raw, psychological intensity and bold depictions of the human form. His work broke with the ornamental sensuality of the Vienna Secession and introduced a radical honesty that explored vulnerability, sexuality, and the complexity of human emotions. Schiele’s distinctive style is characterized by expressive linework, distorted anatomy, and a striking use of color and space. His portraits and nudes, often confrontational in their gaze and posture, reveal an unrestrained exploration of desire and identity. The artist’s ability to capture both physical tension and psychological depth sets him apart from his contemporaries and solidifies his place 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 of several millions of dollars at major auction houses. Paintings such as Houses with Colorful Laundry (1914) have grossed over $40 million, while his expressive figure drawings are highly valued by collectors worldwide.
