Torso of a Nude 1918

"Torso of a Nude" is a drawing by Austrian Expressionist artist Egon Schiele, created in 1918, the year of his death. The work features a simplified, elongated figure, characteristic of Schiele's style. The drawing depicts a nude torso, seen from the back, with one arm raised, emphasizing the figure’s angularity and emphasizing the artist's interest in the human form. The work is notable for its bold lines and use of shading to convey form and texture, reflecting Schiele's preoccupation with anatomy and psychological introspection.
