Egon Schiele - “Two friends, 1912”. Gesigneerd en gedateerd in de plaat.

Signed and dated in the plate. Authorized color offset litho, produced on premium matte (non-reflective) finish with high color intensity. Condition: the work is in excellent condition. Egon Schiele (1890-1918) was one of the most radical figures of Austrian expressionism. A protegé of Gustav Klimt, he developed a highly personal visual language characterized by angular lines, distorted anatomy, raw erotica, and unwavering psychological intensity. His work broke decisively with 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 profoundly shaped modern figuration. 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 watercolor pieces, are also highly valued and often reach seven-figure prices. Its scarcity, historical importance, and unmistakable style form the basis for consistently strong and resilient market demand.
