"Self Portrait with Physalis" is a 1912 painting by the Austrian painter Egon Schiele, known for his intense and raw portrayal of the human figure. This self-portrait is one of Schiele's most famous works and is often noted for its striking composition and emotional depth. In this painting, Schiele presents himself with a gaunt, almost haunting appearance, characterized by his signature style of sharp lines, bold contours, and a somewhat distorted body form.

The painting features Schiele with his head cocked to one side, his eyes meeting the viewer's gaze in a confrontational manner. The use of color is sparse, with the artist's pale skin contrasted against a dark background, and the bright red of the physalis, or Chinese lantern plant, held in his left hand. The physalis, not commonly found in self-portraits, adds a symbolic layer to the work, possibly alluding to themes of isolation, protection, or hidden truths, as the plant's delicate husk conceals its fruit.

"Self Portrait with Physalis" is a testament to Schiele's exploration of self-identity and his unapologetic approach to self-representation. The painting is reflective of his broader oeuvre, which often delved into themes of sexuality, mortality, and introspection. Schiele's work was influential in the expressionist movement and continues to be celebrated for its psychological depth and its unflinching examination of the human condition.

This self-portrait is held in high regard not only for its aesthetic and emotional impact but also for its place within the context of Schiele's life and work. It was created during a particularly prolific period of his career, just before the outbreak of World War I, which would bring about significant changes in the artist's circumstances and in the broader socio-political landscape.

As with many of Schiele's paintings, "Self Portrait with Physalis" has been extensively analyzed by art historians and critics, and it remains a key work for understanding the evolution of early 20th-century European art, particularly within the realms of expressionism and modernism. The painting is housed in the Leopold Museum, Vienna, which holds one of the largest collections of Schiele's works.
