Hand-signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right. Evocative of mystery and subdued femininity, this Portrait of a Young Girl captures our gaze and inspires our curiosity with her wistful and pensive expression. Her eyes are portrayed with a vibrant twinkle, but with soft eyebrows and rounded cheeks, she also radiates a pensive grace that only Egon Schiele could capture in his work. Foreshadowing Max Ernst's textured technique of frotage, there exists an inherent surface quality in the manner of the shading which cannot be justly appreciated unless viewed with the naked eye. Herein also lies a fascinating directional element in the manner which Schiele applied the charcoal, creating bold, highly expressive strokes. Alluring and mysterious, this portrait was once thought to be Gertrude Schiele, however, according to a recent study by Schiele scholars she has been identified as the family maid. This rare, unique work is truly one of Schiele's more alluring and stunning portraits. Elaborately shaded and highly detailed, this serves as an example of the artist's uncanny sensibilities of capturing the human spirit.
