Self-Portrait with Striped Sleeves
1915
Egon Schiele stares out with wide, almost manic eyes and spiky red hair in this intense 1915 self-portrait. His hands are twisted into awkward, claw-like shapes—a signature of his Expressionist style that often made the human body look raw and vulnerable. The dark vest and striped sleeves seem to ripple and fold around his arms, adding to the sense of nervous energy. Painted just a few years before his tragic death at 28, this piece captures the anxiety and raw emotion that defined his brief but explosive career.
