Strichmännchen mit Bogen
1918
Egon Schiele created this playful yet raw sketch just a year before his tragic death in 1918. Known for his intense, angular figures, here he strips everything down to a simple stick figure wielding a bow, almost like a child's drawing but with his signature bold, jagged energy. The vibrant orange background makes the thick black lines pop, showing how even his simplest doodles carried the raw emotion of the Expressionist movement. It's a rare glimpse of whimsy from an artist usually associated with darker, more complex themes, proving that even the masters sometimes doodled like kids.
