Boy with Hand to Face 1910

"Boy with Hand to Face" is a 1910 drawing by Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, known for its raw and emotional depiction of a young man. Schiele's signature style is evident in the elongated limbs, angular lines, and emphasis on the figure's psychological state. The boy's pose, with his hand covering his face, evokes feelings of introspection and vulnerability. The muted tones and sketchy lines contribute to the work's haunting atmosphere, characteristic of Schiele's later works. This piece reflects his exploration of human psychology and the complexities of the human form.
