Austrian painter Egon Schiele, born in 1890, was known for his explicitly sexual and sometimes macabre paintings. Egon Schiele's paintings, both modeled and self-portraiture, were erotic, and he often drew his subjects in revealing poses. Drawings by Egon Schiele highlighted his graphic style by focusing on the contours and unconventional beauty of his subjects. His goal was to show the inner psyche of his subjects through his paintings, showcasing their scars and imperfections in a raw way.
Egon Schiele's artwork displayed a lack of secondary attributes, adding to the psychological aspect of his pieces and creating room for viewers to develop their own ideas. Expressionist Egon Schiele's paintings showed increased maturity after he got married in 1915, at which point he began leaning more toward realism.

Nach Krumau ziehen die beiden für kurze Zeit nach Au am Anzbach. Schieles künstlerischer Lebensstil – und nicht zuletzt seine Aktzeichnungen junger Mädchen – stiess bei der konservativen Gesellschaft auf Unverständnis und Ablehnung. So sah er sich gezwungen, bereits 1912 wieder nach Wien zurückzuziehen. Krumau blieb für Schiele ein Inspirationsort, an den er immer wieder zurückkehrte. Bei seiner letzten Reise im Jahr 1917, einige Monate vor seinem frühen Tod, entstanden einige Zeichnungen, darunter die vorliegende. Schiele zeigt einen ungewöhnlich schrägen Blickwinkel vom Schlossberg auf das Städtchen und setzt, wie so oft in seinem zeichnerischen Werk, kolorierte Partien und leere Flächen in ein Spannungsfeld. Die kleinen Figuren, die die Strassen beleben, sind typisch für Schieles Spätwerk, waren doch seine Stadtansichten bis anhin ohne Personen ausgekommen. Eine wunderbare Arbeit mit eigenwilliger Perspektive, die Schieles Verständnis von Räumlichkeit eindrücklich belegt. Throughout his life, Egon Schiele was connected to Krumlov in southern Bohemia, his mother's hometown. In 1911, he moved to the tranquil little town with his then muse, Walburga (Wally) Neuzil, turning his back on Vienna. After Krumlov, the couple moved to Au am Anzbach for a short time. Schiele's artistic lifestyle - and not least his nude drawings of young girls - met with incomprehension and rejection from conservative society. As a result, he was forced to return to Vienna in 1912. Krumlov remained a place of inspiration for Schiele, to which he returned time and again. During his last visit in 1917, a few months before his early death, he created several drawings, including this one. Schiele shows an unusually oblique view of the small town from the Schlossberg and, as so often in his drawings, places coloured areas and empty spaces in a field of tension. The small figures that animate the streets are typical of Schiele's late work, as his views of the town had previously been devoid of people. A wonderful work with an idiosyncratic perspective that impressively demonstrates Schiele's understanding of space.

A vertical fold on the left over the entire margin. Slight handling creases and a slightly restored area at lower left. On the reverse with a facial sketch and traces of an old mount Erläuterungen / Comments Wally, eigentlich Walburga Neuzil, war Egon Schieles Muse und Gefährtin. Im Jahr 1911 zog er mit ihr zuerst nach Krumau, später nach Au am Anzbach. Die wilde Ehe der beiden sorgte in der ländlichen Umgebung für gehörigen Wirbel und führte dazu, dass Schiele wegen "Verbreitung unsittlicher Zeichnungen" verurteilt wurde und sogar vierundzwanzig Tage im Gefängnis verbringen musste. Ab 1912 kehrten die beiden nach Wien zurück, wo sie schliesslich eine Atelierwohnung an der Hietzinger Hauptstrasse 101 bezogen. Dort entstand 1915 mit "Tod und Mädchen" eines seiner Hauptwerke, das den Künstler und Wally in einer eigenartigen Umarmung zeigt. Das Gemälde wird oft als sein Trennungsbild gesehen, hat Schiele doch seine Muse kurz darauf verlassen, um Edith Harms zu heiraten. Das hier angebotene Blatt, im Jahr 1914 entstanden, steht im Zentrum einer zehnteiligen Serie von Bleistiftzeichnungen. Keine davon ist koloriert. Wie bereits in anderen Reihen thematisierte der Künstler den Prozess des Entkleidens und zeigte sein Modell in verschiedenen Positionen. Die Zeichnung des sitzenden, mit einem Mantel und Hut gekleideten Mädchens, bildet den Anfangspunkt. Ihr Blick wirkt nachdenklich in sich gekehrt, nahezu schüchtern auch die verschränkte Haltung der Hände. Eine wunderbare Arbeit, eindrücklich mit sicherem Strich aufs Papier gebracht. Wally, actually Walburga Neuzil, was Egon Schiele's muse and companion. In 1911, he moved with her first to Krumau and later to Au am Anzbach. The couple's wild marriage caused quite a stir in the rural area and led to Schiele being convicted of "disseminating immoral drawings", so that he had to spend twenty-four days in prison. In 1912, the couple returned to Vienna, where they eventually moved into a studio flat at Hietzinger Hauptstrasse 101. It was there in 1915 that he painted one of his major works, "Tod und Mädchen", which shows the artist and Wally in a strange embrace. The painting is often seen as his break-up picture, as Schiele left his muse shortly afterwards to marry Edith Harms. The drawing offered here, created in 1914, is the centrepiece of a series of ten pencil drawings. None of them are coloured. As in other series, the artist explored the process of undressing and showed his model in various positions. The drawing of the seated girl, wearing a coat and hat, is the starting point. Her gaze appears pensive and introverted, as do the interlocked hands. A marvellous work, impressively captured on paper with a confident stroke.

The paper slightly wavy and with handling creases Erläuterungen / Comments Friederike "Fritzi" Beer, die Tochter der Besitzer der populären und legendären Wiener Kaiserbar, war eine schillernde Figur im Wiener Kulturleben. Nach ihrer Schulzeit versuchte sich Fritzi als Schauspielerin und wurde Modell für die Kleider der Wiener Werkstätte. Sie ist die einzige Person, die sowohl von Egon Schiele als auch von Gustav Klimt porträtiert wurde. Die vorliegende Zeichnung diente dabei als Vorstudie für Schieles Ölgemälde, das ebenfalls im Jahr 1914 entstand. Beer gab die Arbeit selbst in Auftrag. Die spezielle Körperhaltung der Komposition entstand dadurch, dass Beer auf dem Bauch liegend und ein Kissen umklammernd vor dem Künstler posierte. Das Weglassen von jeglichen Requisiten führte zum Verlust des Räumlichen, sodass die Figur mit den erhobenen Armen förmlich zu schweben scheint. Diesen Effekt verstärkt Schiele im späteren Gemälde noch deutlicher. Friederike Beer trägt ein Kleid der Wiener Werkstätte, dessen typisches Muster von Schiele angedeutet wird. Wie so oft in seinen Zeichnungen stellt er bewusst kolorierte Teile den leer gelassenen Partien gegenüber. Beer heiratete 1920 den italienischen Kapitän Emanuele Monti und nannte sich fortan Monti-Beer. Sie emigrierte Mitte der 1930er Jahre in die USA, wo sie in New York unter dem Namen Federica Beer-Monti die "Artists’ Gallery" leitete, die amerikanische Künstler förderte. Eine sehr wichtige Zeichnung im Œuvre, die die Dargestellte mit in die USA brachte und schliesslich später verkaufte. Friederike "Fritzi" Beer, daughter of the owners of the popular and legendary Wiener Kaiserbar, was a colourful figure in Viennese cultural life. After leaving school, Fritzi tried her hand at acting and became a fashion model for the Wiener Werkstätte. She is the only person to have been portrayed by both Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt. This drawing served as a preliminary study for Schiele's oil painting, which was also created in 1914. Beer commissioned the work himself. The striking posture is due to the fact that Beer posed in front of the artist lying on her stomach and clutching a cushion. The absence of any props led to a loss of spatiality, so that the figure seems to be floating with her arms raised. Schiele emphasised this effect even more in the later painting. Friederike Beer is wearing a dress from the Wiener Werkstätte, whose typical pattern is hinted at by Schiele. As so often in his drawings, he deliberately juxtaposed areas of colour with blank spaces . Beer married the Italian captain Emanuele Monti in 1920 and took the name Monti-Beer. She emigrated to the USA in the mid-1930s, where she ran the "Artists' Gallery" in New York under the name Federica Beer-Monti, which promoted American artists. A very important drawing in Schiele‘s oeuvre, which Emanuele Monti took to the USA and later sold.

In good condition Erläuterungen / Comments Mit zunehmendem Erfolg bezog Schiele im Oktober 1912 einen Arbeitsraum in der Hietzinger Hauptstrasse 101, unweit des Ateliers von Gustav Klimt, den er fast bis zu seinem Tod nutzte. 1913 wurde er Mitglied im Bund Österreichischer Künstler, dem Klimt vorstand. Schiele wurde zu einem sensiblen, in der Ausführung aber äusserst expressiven und unerbittlichen Beobachter seiner Umwelt und seiner Zeit. Ihn interessierten vor allem auch Menschen und ihre Körperlichkeit. Der "Torso" etwa ist Teil einer Reihe, in der Egon Schiele das schrittweise Entkleiden des weiblichen Körpers thematisiert und dokumentiert. Die Zeichnung stellt den Endpunkt dieses Narrativs dar; es ist kein Kleidungsstück mehr vorhanden. In der Serie werden die Dargestellten meist am Kopf oder Oberkörper angeschnitten, somit fokussieren sich die Darstellungen auf den weiblichen Körper. Mit festem Strich, hauchdünn koloriert, spürt man förmlich den ungeduldigen Eifer, mit welchem die wunderbare Zeichnung entstanden ist. Auffällig ist die betont reduzierte Farbgebung im Vergleich zu den früheren Arbeiten, in denen gerade die Kolorierung der Haut eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Die Kleidung – und somit der Akt des Entkleidens selbst – steht somit im Vordergrund dieser Reihe. In October 1912, with increasing success, Schiele moved into a studio at Hietzinger Hauptstrasse 101, not far from Gustav Klimt's studio, which he used almost until his death. In 1913, he became a member of the Association of Austrian Artists, headed by Klimt. Schiele became a sensitive, yet extremely expressive and relentless observer of his surroundings and his time. He was particularly interested in people and their physicality. "Torso", for example, is part of a series in which Egon Schiele explored and documented the gradual undressing of the female body. The drawing represents the end point of this narrative; there is no longer any clothing. In the series, the sitters are usually cropped at the head or upper body, thus focusing on the female body. With bold strokes and wafer-thin colouring, the impatient eagerness with which this wonderful drawing was created is palpable. The deliberately reduced use of colour is striking in contrast to the earlier works, in which the colouring of the skin plays a central role. Clothing - and thus the act of undressing itself - is thus at the heart of this series.

In good condition Erläuterungen / Comments Der Hauptstadt Wien überdrüssig zog Egon Schiele 1911 mit seinem wohl bekanntesten Modell Walburga (Wally) Neuzil zuerst nach Krumau, danach nach Au am Anzbach, um seine eigene Bildsprache massgeblich weiterzuentwickeln. 1912 kehrte er schliesslich nach Wien zurück und wurde mit Unterstützung von seinem Mentor und Förderer Gustav Klimt in die Wiener Gesellschaft eingeführt. Schiele feierte von da an grosse Erfolge. Die eindrücklichen Selbstporträts aus dieser Zeit dürfen im Zusammenhang mit seinem wachsenden Selbstbewusstsein gelesen werden. Im Laufe seiner künstlerischen Karriere porträtierte sich Egon Schiele immer wieder selbst. Hier als stehender Halbakt mit erhobenem linkem Arm. Bei der vorliegenden Arbeit handelt es sich um eine reine Bleistiftzeichnung mit klarer Linienführung. Der selbstbewusste Blick des Künstlers scheint klar und konzentriert auf die Betrachtenden gerichtet. Selten zeigt sich der Künstler mit solch einem präsenten Blick, ohne verzerrtes fratzenartiges Gesicht. Man spürt die Energie des 22-jährigen Mannes, der daran war, die Kunstwelt zu erobern. Ein sehr persönliches und in seiner Einfachheit überzeugendes Blatt. In 1911, tired of the capital Vienna, Egon Schiele and his most famous model, Walburga (Wally) Neuzil, moved first to Krumau and then to Au am Anzbach, where Schiele developed his own pictorial language. He finally returned to Vienna in 1912 and, with the help of his mentor and patron Gustav Klimt, was introduced to Viennese society. From then on, Schiele enjoyed great success. The impressive self-portraits of this period can be read in the context of his growing self-confidence. Throughout his artistic career, Egon Schiele often portrayed himself. Here as a standing semi-nude with his left arm raised. The work is a pure pencil drawing with clear lines. The artist's confident gaze is clearly directed at the viewer. Rarely does the artist show himself with such a present gaze, without a distorted, grimacing face. You can feel the energy of the 22-year-old man who was about to conquer the art world.

Signed and dated 'Egon Schiele 1913' lower right. In 1913 the circumstances of Egon Schiele’s life had largely calmed down again: the previous year, 1912, had been defined by his brief prison sentence for the “distribution of indecent drawings” and his move from the Austrian provinces back to Vienna. The shocks associated with these events led to a reduction in the radicalism of his erotic images through the “introduction of an element of aesthetic distance, which places more emphasis on unusual compositions and poses”, as described by Jane Kallir (in: Egon Schiele. Aquarelle und Zeichnungen, Vienna 2003, p. 222). The motif of our drawing of a pair of women in an intimate embrace is connected with the works “Embrace/Umarmung” and “Friendship/Freundschaft” (Kallir 1353 and 1355), and all three drawings depict the same female nudes. While the latter two works were carried out in gouache and watercolour, our image concentrates solely on drawing their contours. The formal change that Egon Schiele’s style of drawing underwent in 1913 reveals itself clearly here: his line becomes looser and more angular. This increasingly geometrical treatment has been traced to the influence of cubism, with which the artist became familiar during this period through publications and colleagues. Schiele’s concentration on formal aspects is accompanied by an increased anonymity in his models, who now often avoid eye contact with the viewer or turn their head away entirely. Schiele deliberately leaves out details for the sake of the formal unity established by the couple. His interest is centred not around their personalities but the interwoven lines of their bodies.

(Tulln 1890–1918 Vienna) Porträt des Leutnants Ernö Fekete (Portrait of Lt Ernö Fekete), signed and dated EGON SCHIELE 1916, titled Lt.

D 1850, ill. p. 564 Provenance: Estate of the artist Gertrude Schiele-Peschka (1894–1981), Vienna Sale, Sotheby’s, London, 25 June 1986, lot 369 Private Collection, Austria Egon Schiele was in the same barracks in Mühling, Lower Austria, as Lt. Fekete, whom he drew on July 16, 1916. (Nebehay, Egon Schiele. 1890–1918, Life, Letters, Poems, Salzburg, Vienna 1979, no. 1057.) From May 1916, Egon Schiele served as a soldier in the provisions office of the Mühling prisoner-of-war camp near Wieselburg in Lower Austria. This change in his circumstances prompted him to focus his attention on the portraits of his army superiors and comrades. They first exude the detached professionalism apparent in many of the later commissions. (cf. Kallir, 1990, p. 560) Schiele places the portrait of the Hungarian lieutenant in the center of the large sheet. The emptiness draws attention to the bright, somewhat squinting eyes under long eyelashes. The painter captures the moustache and forehead hair in almost ornamental quick lines, emphasizing youth, beauty and a charming uncertainty.
(Tulln 1890–1918 Vienna) Two women, signed and dated EGON SCHIELE 1918, black crayon on paper, 29.5 x 46 cm Listed and illustrated in: Jane Kallir, Egon Schiele. The complete works, New York 1990, cat. rais. no. D 2268, ill. p. 614 Provenance: Private Collection, Germany Private Collection, Austria, since the early 1980’s. 1918 was a very productive and creative year but also Egon Schiele’s last one before he died in October. A strive for greater simplicity, capturing his subject with the barest minimum of line dominates most of these last drawings as well as an investigating but somehow also distant interest in female sexuality (cf. Kallir, 1990, p. 602). Thus, this drawing of a pair of lesbian models illustrates less an erotic action, much more a fascinating and complex interaction of lines, starting with soft waves and culminating in a rollercoaster of fluent, modelling and powerful black strokes. The arms of the two women intertwine, but while one lays her head on her friend’s chest, the other looks dreamily into the distance without noticing the viewer.

D 1217, ill. p. 489 Provenance: Private Collection, Austria Exhibition: Los Angeles, Landau Gallery, “Modern Masters, Watercolors and Drawings”, 30 March – 25 April, 1970, exh. cat. no. 66, ill. London, Fischer Fine Art, “Egon Schiele: Oils, Watercolors, Drawings and Graphik Work”, November – December 1972, exh. cat. no. 38, ill. Watercolor, applied in soft, limpid pools, remains the chief coloring medium of Egon Schiele in 1912. It is the year when he was imprisoned in April but was also on subsequent travels to Trieste in May, Lake Constance (Bodensee) in August and Györ in December (cf. Kallir, 1990, p. 308). Similar to the oil landscapes the horizontal tendency is evident in this delicate watercolor portrait of houses, obviously a quick sketch, taken out of an impulse. The german title hints at the possible topographical location: “Houses in front of vineyard terraces” is reminiscent of the views of the small town Stein an der Donau in the Wachau, captured by Schiele in several oil paintings in 1913. The church tower is omitted in the watercolor study, as the artist was more interested in the rhythmic arrangement of the three house façades with their different window surrounds and the roofscape behind. The appeal of this sheet lies precisely in its incompleteness; it is a sketch that allows the viewer to trace the painter's evolving ideas and images.
