Roderick Mac Kay, pianista by Egon Schiele, 1986

Check out the intense, almost nervous energy in this sketch of pianist Roderick Mac Kay! Egon Schiele was a master of Expressionism, using jagged, frantic lines to show what people were feeling inside, not just what they looked like. The subject is hunched over with a piercing downward gaze, looking like he's deep in the zone or perhaps stressing over a performance. It’s a perfect example of how Schiele could capture raw human emotion with just a few swift strokes.
