Sarena Lederer 1917

This portrait of Sarena Lederer, painted in 1917 by Egon Schiele, exemplifies the artist's distinctive style. Schiele was a prominent figure in the Expressionist movement, known for his elongated figures and stark lines. The painting captures Lederer's intense gaze and a sense of unease, characteristic of Schiele's portraits. The exaggerated features and angular lines create a sense of emotional depth and vulnerability, revealing Schiele's fascination with the human psyche and his ability to convey complex emotions through simplified forms.
