The artwork titled “Woman with Black Stockings” was created by Egon Schiele in 1912. Executed with watercolor on paper, this piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement. Classified as a sketch and study, the dimensions of the artwork are 48 x 32 cm. It is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a minimalistic yet expressive outline of a female figure, accentuated by the boldness of her black stockings. The use of watercolor allows for fluidity and depth, highlighting the contours and posture of the subject. The figure is presented in a seemingly dynamic pose, with an emphasis on the clothing and stockings, which are rendered with meticulous detail. The overall aesthetic is one of raw, unadorned human expression, characteristic of Schiele’s distinctive style in exploring the human form and emotion.
