Self Portrait with Brown Background 1912

Egon Schiele’s “Self Portrait with Brown Background” (1912) is a striking example of the artist's signature style. Schiele was known for his expressive line work and bold depictions of the human form. The elongated proportions and intense gaze of the artist in this self-portrait, combined with the use of muted colors, highlight the artist's introspective nature and the angst of the era. This work is a quintessential piece of Austrian Expressionism and captures the essence of Schiele's artistic vision.
