This charcoal drawing, "Head of a Woman," is a work by the Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, created in 1908. Schiele's characteristic elongated figures and striking, almost skeletal lines are evident in this depiction of a woman’s head and hand, emphasizing a sense of angularity and distortion. The artist’s preoccupation with the human form, particularly the female figure, is evident in the work, contributing to his reputation as a pioneer of the early 20th-century avant-garde.
