The Bridge 1913

"The Bridge" is a 1913 painting by the Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele. The painting depicts a bridge, with its intricate wooden structure, leading to a small boat on a sandy shore. Schiele's signature angular lines and flattened forms are evident in the work, highlighting the artist's exploration of the human figure and its relation to the natural world. While the painting's exact subject remains open to interpretation, it is likely a reflection of Schiele's own emotional and psychological state during this period of his life.
