Standing Figure with Halo 1913

Egon Schiele's "Standing Figure with Halo" from 1913, features a single figure in a striking red robe, standing in profile with their back to the viewer. The figure is depicted with a halo, perhaps a symbol of religious or spiritual significance. This artwork exemplifies Schiele's unique style, characterized by elongated figures, angular lines, and intense expressions. The expressive use of color, especially the bold red, adds to the impact of this figure, conveying a sense of isolation and introspection. This artwork, painted during the artist's early career, demonstrates the influence of Expressionism and Art Nouveau on Schiele's artistic vision.
