Born in 1890, Schiele studied under Gustav Klimt and quickly developed a unique style characterized by raw emotion, bold lines, and often controversial subjects. His expressive portraits and nudes, marked by their stark and sometimes unsettling honesty, challenged the artistic norms of his time.

The artwork, characterized by Schiele's signature bold lines and stark contrasts, depicts the torso of a figure, stripped of any idealization.
