Mother and Child 1914

Egon Schiele's 1914 "Mother and Child" is a striking example of his signature style. Created during his brief but prolific career, this pen-and-ink drawing depicts a mother holding a child. Schiele's characteristically angular lines and elongated figures create a sense of emotional intensity. The drawing's stark simplicity and raw emotionality showcase Schiele's unique approach to portraiture, a hallmark of his Expressionist style.
