About the artist

Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter and graphic artist, one of the brightest representatives of Austrian expressionism. The artist lived only 28 years and painted for only 10 years, but he became one of the most striking and bold artistic figures of the 20th century. This master for a very short life realized himself more accurately and deeper in his graphic works than in canvas.

Therefore, the ratio of his auction records is non-standard: the most expensive and large canvas of Schiele (109 × 139 cm), double-sided is «Einzelne Nasser / Monk I» ("Lonely house") was sold for $22.4 million at Christie's in 2006, and water-color work "Self-portrait in a checked shirt" (45 × 30 cm) has reached $11.4 million at Sotheby's by the end of last year, that is twice higher that the estimate.
