Seated Girl with Bare Torso and Light Blue Skirt 1911

Egon Schiele's "Seated Girl with Bare Torso and Light Blue Skirt" (1911) is a striking example of the artist's signature style. Schiele's use of angular lines, elongated figures, and stark colors create a sense of both vulnerability and power in the subject. The woman's bare torso and intense gaze create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, while the vibrant blue of her skirt adds a touch of drama to the composition. This watercolor, now housed in the Gemeentemuseum den Haag, is a testament to Schiele's ability to capture the human form in its raw and unadulterated state.
