the Artists Daughter Ila 1919

Albin Egger-Lienz, a prominent Austrian painter, created this charcoal drawing, "The Artist's Daughter Ila," in 1919. The portrait depicts his daughter's face, capturing her youthful features with subtle strokes of charcoal. Egger-Lienz was known for his realist style, depicting everyday people and events, particularly the lives of rural Austrians. This intimate portrait, though simple in form, demonstrates his keen eye for detail and his ability to convey a sense of quiet contemplation.
