"Composition with Three Male Figures (Self Portrait)" by Egon Schiele exemplifies his intense Expressionism style, characterized by distorted body shapes and expressive lines. As a notable self-portrait artist, Schiele often depicted raw, vulnerable aspects of himself, including nude portrayals that highlight his focus on human vulnerability and sexuality.
