Egon Schiele
Mödling II
From $100
This painting is a dark face and hand against a white ground, and a cheap copy turns the browns black. Our Schiele Self-Portrait print was graded from a high-resolution master so the face keeps its colour and the white stays clean.
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 browns and whites look strong with cream, charcoal and walnut, and a black frame suits it.
About the painting
Self-Portrait with Lowered Head by Egon Schiele
Vienna, 1912
Egon Schiele made about two hundred self-portraits, most between 1910 and 1914, testing gesture and expression with a mirror and even a camera.
Looking up
Here his head is bowed but his eyes look up, the whites bright under black brows. His dark face stands out against the white ground. The same head and hand appear in his painting Hermits.
Vienna
It belonged to Margarethe Scheider from 1917, and later to the collector Rudolf Leopold. It is in the Leopold Museum in Vienna.
Read the story
A young man bows his head, but his eyes look up at us, bright under black brows. One hand rests against his white shirt.
Egon Schiele made about two hundred self-portraits, most of them between 1910 and 1914. He tested every gesture and expression, with a mirror, and even with a camera.
In 1912 he painted this one on a small wooden panel. His dark face stands out sharply against the white ground.
The bowed head and the upward gaze pull us in. The same head and the same hand appear in a larger painting from that year, called Hermits.
In 1917 it belonged to a woman named Margarethe Scheider, who lived in Vienna and later in Thessaloniki. Before 1964 the collector Rudolf Leopold acquired it.
Today it belongs to the Leopold Museum in Vienna.
Look at his eyes, and then at his hand.

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.
