Woman Undressing 1917

This expressive charcoal drawing, "Woman Undressing," is a powerful example of Egon Schiele's signature style. Created in 1917, just a year before his untimely death, the artwork showcases Schiele's exploration of the human form, particularly the female body. The elongated limbs and exaggerated features, rendered in bold, angular lines, capture a sense of both vulnerability and strength. Schiele's use of sharp contours and minimal detail emphasizes the essence of the figure, creating a raw and intimate portrait. This work exemplifies the artist's fascination with the body and its emotional expressions, contributing to his enduring legacy in the art world.
