Child in Black 1911

"Child in Black" is a 1911 painting by Egon Schiele, a prominent Austrian Expressionist artist. Known for his distinctive style of elongated figures and bold, expressive brushstrokes, Schiele captured the essence of a young child with an intense gaze and a slightly unsettling presence. The child's black clothing and pale skin, along with the muted background, contribute to the artwork's somber atmosphere. This portrayal reflects Schiele's exploration of human vulnerability and the complexities of childhood in his artistic style.
