Portrait Of Bertha Von Wiktorin 1907

Egon Schiele's 1907 *Portrait Of Bertha Von Wiktorin* is a striking example of the artist's signature style, characterized by elongated figures, angular lines, and a sense of emotional intensity. The portrait captures Bertha in profile, her gaze directed away from the viewer, with a cigarette held to her lips. Schiele’s bold use of color and thick brushstrokes give the painting a raw and expressive quality, further emphasizing the subject's sense of introspection. This work showcases Schiele's skill in capturing the complexities of the human figure, making it a powerful and evocative portrait.
