Standing Nude with a Patterned Robe

Egon Schiele

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a woman standing, facing left, her face turned away from us. She is nude, with pale skin the same color as the paper beneath, highlighted with areas of rosy pink and bright teal. She has auburn hair styled in a bun at the back of her head. The woman holds a colorful fabric with her right arm, patterned with areas of red, yellow, purple, white, and green.
