Portrait of an Old Man (Johann Harms) 1916

Egon Schiele's 1916 "Portrait of an Old Man (Johann Harms)" captures the sitter's somber mood through elongated lines and a muted color palette. Painted during the artist's final years, the work exemplifies Schiele's Expressionist style, emphasizing raw emotion and psychological introspection. The stark contrast between the light-colored figure and the dark background further enhances the sense of isolation and melancholy. This portrait is a poignant testament to Schiele's talent for depicting the complexities of human experience.
