Egon Schiele
Mödling II
From $100
This painting is a pale face, a black veil and a red ground, and a cheap copy turns the black to mud. Our Schiele Mourning Woman print was graded from a high-resolution master so the eyes stay clear and the reds stay warm.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
16x20 inch, 24x30 inch, 32x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its tall shape suits a study, a library or a hallway. The blacks and reds look strong with cream, charcoal and walnut, and a black frame suits it.
About the painting
Mourning Woman by Egon Schiele
Vienna, 1912
In 1912 Egon Schiele painted a figure under a dark veil, looking straight at us, sad but defiant. Her pale face is close to a skull.
Two faces
Behind her a second face rises, almost the colour of the red background. Its mouth and brows are Schiele’s own, but its red hair belongs to his companion, Wally Neuzil.
Vienna
It was first shown in Vienna in 1925, and belonged to Heinrich Benesch and his son Otto. It is in the Leopold Museum.
Read the story
A pale woman with large, dark eyes looks straight at us from under a black veil. Behind her, a second face rises out of the red.
Egon Schiele painted this small picture on wood in 1912. The title was not his own.
The woman's look is sad, but defiant. Her pale skin and outlines are close to a skull.
The face behind her is stranger still. Its pursed mouth and raised brows are Schiele's own, the face we know from his self-portraits. But its red hair belongs to his companion, Wally Neuzil.
So who is mourning, and for whom? The Leopold Museum sees a picture about identity itself: who we are, and who others make us.
It was first shown in Vienna in 1925. It belonged for many years to the collector Heinrich Benesch, and then to his son Otto.
Today it belongs to the Leopold Museum.
Look into her eyes, and then at the red hair behind her.
Mourning Woman. Egon Schiele, 1912.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
