Boats
c. 1905
Long before Egon Schiele shocked the art world with his raw, jagged portraits, he was a teenager quietly mastering traditional landscapes. Created around 1905 when he was just 15, this serene scene features a wooden rowboat resting on a rocky shore while sailboats drift in the distance. The hand-painted grey border frames the view like a window into a calm afternoon, showing a young artist honing his skills before he eventually broke all the rules of Expressionism.
