This lot consists of a hand-painted gouache work on paper, hand signed "Egon Schiele" and dated "1914" at lower right. This image, like many by Schiele, explores the beautiful lines of the female body. The subject of this piece meets the artist's gaze straight on as she reclines, which is a strong statement in and of itself. Done in the erotic, figurative style of Egon Schiele (Austrian, 1890-1918). Unframed piece measures approximately 9.5" x 13".
