Hockender weiblicher Akt 1918

"Hockender weiblicher Akt" is a 1918 pencil drawing by the Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele. The drawing portrays a nude female figure in a contorted pose, kneeling with her head lowered. Schiele's signature elongated limbs and angular lines emphasize the figure's vulnerability and isolation. Created during the artist's final year, the drawing reflects his interest in exploring themes of sexuality and mortality. Schiele's distinctive style of drawing, characterized by bold lines, stark contrasts, and psychological intensity, is evident in this work.
