Egon Schiele's "Portrait of a Woman with Black Hair" is a striking example of his signature style. Created in 1914, the portrait showcases the artist's distinctive use of line and color, capturing a raw, emotional intensity. The woman's face, with its elongated features and bold red lips, appears both captivating and vulnerable, emphasizing Schiele's fascination with the human form and its psychological depth. The expressive brushstrokes and simplified forms are characteristic of his Expressionist approach, drawing attention to the subject's inner turmoil and the raw beauty of human vulnerability.
