Portrait of Herbert Rainer
1910
Egon Schiele captured the intense, almost haunting gaze of young Herbert Rainer in this 1910 drawing, showcasing his signature Expressionist style. Notice the jagged, nervous lines outlining the boy's oversized hands and large, soulful eyes—a stark contrast to the smooth, idealized portraits of the time. Schiele was a master of raw emotion, often making his subjects look vulnerable and slightly awkward, and this sketch is a perfect, poignant example of his ability to find deep psychological depth in simple lines.
