■ Brief Biographical Information of Artist 

Egon Schiele (June 12, 1890 – October 31, 1918) was an Austrian painter. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is noted for its intensity, and the many self-portraits the artist produced. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.

■ Background of the Art work

Schiele painted this picture in 1911. During this year, he used the town's teenage girls as models for his paintings. For this, the town's community drove him and his mistress, Wally, out of town.
