Kneeling Girl, Resting on Both Elbows 1917

Egon Schiele’s *Kneeling Girl, Resting on Both Elbows* from 1917 depicts a nude woman in a contorted pose, showcasing the artist's signature style of elongated limbs and angular lines. The piece is executed in Schiele's preferred medium of charcoal and colored crayon, resulting in a stark and expressive composition. The artist's fascination with the human body, particularly the female form, is evident in this powerful and emotive work, a defining example of the Expressionist movement.
