Portrait of Heinrich Rieger 1917

"Portrait of Heinrich Rieger" is a 1917 drawing by Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele. The artwork depicts the sitter in a seated position, with his right hand resting on his lap. Schiele's signature angular lines and elongated proportions create a sense of unease and emotional intensity. The drawing's muted tones and focus on the sitter's facial features highlight the subject's introspective nature, characteristic of Schiele's portraits. This work exemplifies Schiele's artistic style, which is characterized by bold lines, distorted figures, and a focus on the psychological and emotional states of his subjects.
