Sunflower 1909

"Sunflower" (1909) by Egon Schiele is a striking example of the artist's signature style, characterized by elongated figures and an emphasis on line. Schiele's depiction of the sunflower, with its dark, almost skeletal leaves and stark, contrasting colors against a pale pink background, evokes a sense of both fragility and strength. This work, like much of Schiele's oeuvre, reflects his interest in exploring the human form and its relationship to the natural world.
