Standing Naked Girl
1911
Egon Schiele was only 21 when he drew this striking figure, already mastering the jagged, nervous lines that would define his brief but explosive career. The girl stands awkwardly with her hands clasped behind her back, her gaze cast downward in a pose that feels both vulnerable and defiant. Unlike the polished nudes of the past, Schiele’s Expressionist style stripped away all the fluff to expose raw, unfiltered human emotion—often landing him in trouble with censors who found his work far too scandalous for the time.
