1918. Oil on canvas. 139.7 × 109.9 cm. Belvedere, Vienna, Austria.A late-period portrait of Edith Schiele, wife of Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, created in 1918. Painted shortly before Edith's death during the Spanish flu pandemic, the work demonstrates a shift away from Schiele's earlier jagged, nervous linear style toward richer volumetric modeling and quiet emotional resonance.
