Portrait of a Woman with Black Hair

"Portrait of a Woman with Black Hair" by Egon Schiele exemplifies his intense Expressionism style. Known for its raw emotionality and striking line work, the painting captures the subject's piercing gaze and the twisted, expressive body language characteristic of Schiele's work. Influenced by mentor Gustav Klimt, Schiele often approached his portraits with a keen sense of psychological depth. The bold use of black hair and simplified forms emphasizes both vulnerability and strength, making it a compelling example of early 20th-century figurative art.
