This lot consists of an original fine art print on paper, hand signed "Egon Schiele" inside a neat little box at the bottom right of the frame. This disarming composition depicts a young, dark-haired man holding fast to the green coat that surrounds him. His eyes are closed as though blinking, but very well could be closed in deep meditation. Shadows veil the young man's face with mystery, as does the emptiness of the background. Soft, uncontrived, and utterly masterful, this magnificent little study has been done in the Modern Expressionist style of Egon Schiele (Austrian, 1890-1918). Overall measures approximately 8.25" x 11.75".
