검은 머리의 구부러져 앉은 여성 누드 뒷모습 by Egon Schiele, 1909

Egon Schiele was just 19 years old when he created this striking study, and his signature 'nervous' line work is already on full display. The figure is hunched over, her spine curving in a way that feels both vulnerable and tense, while a heavy, solid mass of black hair anchors the top of the composition. That sudden splash of red near her hand—likely a flower—pops against the beige paper, a classic trick Schiele used to guide the viewer's eye. Even at this early stage, you can see him breaking away from his mentor Gustav Klimt's decorative style to forge something much rawer and more emotional.
