"Self-Portrait with Chinese Lantern Fruit" is a notable work by the Austrian expressionist painter Egon Schiele, created in 1912. This painting is a testament to Schiele's intense exploration of self-identity and his bold approach to self-portraiture, which was a central theme throughout his brief but impactful career. The artwork features the artist himself in a confrontational pose, with a piercing gaze that engages the viewer directly. Schiele's use of sharp lines and contorted body shapes exemplifies his distinctive style, which often verged on the grotesque.

In this self-portrait, Schiele is depicted holding a Chinese lantern fruit (Physalis alkekengi), also known as a winter cherry, which adds a symbolic layer to the composition. The fruit, encased in its papery husk, may represent the artist's own sense of protection or perhaps the fragility of life, a recurring subject in Schiele's oeuvre. The use of bold colors and the raw, emotional intensity of the piece are characteristic of Schiele's work during this period, which was heavily influenced by his mentor Gustav Klimt and the Vienna Secession movement.

The painting is an oil on canvas and measures 32 x 39.8 cm. It is part of the collection of the Leopold Museum in Vienna, Austria, which houses one of the largest collections of Schiele's art. "Self-Portrait with Chinese Lantern Fruit" is often cited in discussions of Schiele's innovative contributions to modern art and his unflinching introspection. As with many of his self-portraits, this work continues to captivate audiences with its psychological depth and raw expressiveness.
