"Girl with Hood" is a watercolor painting by Austrian artist Egon Schiele, created in 1910. The artwork depicts a young girl with a prominent, elongated head and large eyes, standing in a brown cloak. Schiele's signature style of angular lines and distorted proportions is evident, emphasizing the figure's slenderness and youthful features. This work exemplifies his exploration of expressionism and his fascination with capturing the essence of human emotion and vulnerability. The painting's muted palette and gestural brushstrokes enhance the enigmatic and melancholic mood.
