Kneeling Young Man 1908

"Kneeling Young Man" is a 1908 drawing by Egon Schiele, a prominent Austrian Expressionist painter. This piece, rendered in red chalk, depicts a young man kneeling with his head turned towards the viewer. The elongated limbs and exaggerated features are characteristic of Schiele's style, reflecting the anxieties and psychological complexities of the early 20th century. His works often explored themes of sexuality and mortality, and the vulnerability of the figure in this piece is typical of his oeuvre.
