Egon Schiele
Mödling II
From $100
This painting is a pale suit against ochre and brown, and a cheap copy muddies the ochres. Our Schiele Victor von Bauer print was graded from a high-resolution master so the suit stays pale and the ground stays 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 ochres and pale tones look strong with cream, charcoal and walnut, and a black frame suits it.
About the painting
Portrait of Victor Ritter von Bauer by Egon Schiele
Vienna, 1918
In 1918 Egon Schiele’s fifty works at the Secession made him famous, his prices rose, and portrait commissions came in. One sitter was Victor Ritter von Bauer, an industrialist, collector and patron of the arts.
Two painters
A few years earlier Oskar Kokoschka had painted him too, probably through the architect Adolf Loos, who built for him. Schiele sat him in a pale suit, hands on his thighs, against warm ochre.
Vienna
It was among the last portraits Schiele painted before he died that October. It belongs to the Belvedere in Vienna.
Read the story
A man sits in a pale suit, vest and tie, his hands resting on his thighs.
In 1918 Egon Schiele was the star of the Vienna Secession. Fifty of his works filled the main hall, his prices rose, and portrait commissions came in.
One sitter was Victor Ritter von Bauer: an industrialist, a collector, and a patron of the arts.
He had been painted before. Around 1914 the painter Oskar Kokoschka had made his portrait, probably through the architect Adolf Loos, who built for him.
Now Schiele painted him, seated, in a pale suit against a warm ground.
It was among the last portraits Schiele painted. That October, the Spanish flu killed his wife Edith, and three days later it killed him. He was twenty-eight.
The portrait belongs to the Belvedere in Vienna.
Look at his hands, and then at his face.

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.
