Nude with Blue Stockings, Bending Forward 1912

"Nude with Blue Stockings, Bending Forward" is a 1912 drawing by Egon Schiele, a prominent Austrian Expressionist painter. The artwork showcases Schiele's signature style, featuring elongated limbs, angular lines, and a focus on the human figure. This work, like many of Schiele's other works, evokes a sense of vulnerability and emotional intensity through the distorted and contorted form of the subject. The subject's pose and the striking use of blue in the stockings further emphasize the artist's exploration of the human body and its relationship to space.
