Elisabeth Lederer, Seated With Hands Folded 1913

Egon Schiele's 1913 drawing *Elisabeth Lederer, Seated with Hands Folded* showcases the artist's signature style of elongated figures and stark lines. The subject, Elisabeth Lederer, a close friend of the artist, is depicted in a seated pose, her body contorted in a characteristically Schiele-esque manner. The drawing’s emphasis on line and form, rather than precise detail, is typical of the artist's work, which can be classified as Expressionism, a movement characterized by its emotional intensity and subjective expression.
