Seated Woman with Legs Drawn Up by Egon Schiele Black Matte Framed People Oil Painting Art Print 25 in. x 29 in.

Egon Schiele was a famous artist of the Expressionism movement. As a young artist he was mentored by the famous artist Gustav Klimt. Schieles mentorship by Klimt is evident in his paintings in the subjects and themes. In fact he was best known for his erotic themes of raw and overt lustuality. There was a large controversy involving his artwork with many people thinking that his paintings were disturbing and grotesque with the twisted figures and intense images. This controversy finally landed Schiele in jail for the obscenity in his paintings. During his time this painting contradicted any feminine beauty standards that were set. The woman is sitting almost comfortably laying her head on her knee and her hands above her ankle. Frame. Description Black Matte Frame.
