Portrait of the Painter Anton Peschka 1909

Egon Schiele's 1909 "Portrait of the Painter Anton Peschka" depicts the artist's friend in a seated pose, turned to the side, with his head tilted downwards. The painting is notable for its flattened perspective and the way Schiele uses color to create a sense of depth. The geometric shapes and bold lines, characteristic of Schiele's style, emphasize the figure's elongated form. The artist's signature style, a combination of Expressionism and Art Nouveau, is evident in this work, showcasing his distinctive artistic vision.
