Seated Woman in Corset and Boots 1918

Egon Schiele's "Seated Woman in Corset and Boots" is a powerful drawing from 1918. Executed just months before his death at the age of 28, the work showcases his signature style of elongated limbs, angular lines, and starkly contoured forms. The piece features a single figure, partially nude, and rendered in black ink on paper, revealing Schiele's interest in exploring human anatomy, particularly the female form, in a way that is both sensual and unsettling. This drawing is a testament to his artistic genius, created during the final months of his short but impactful career.
