"Sexual Act" (also known as "Liebespaar (Selbstdarstellung mit Wally)" in German, which translates to "Lovers (Self-Portrait with Wally)") is a controversial and expressive watercolor and pencil study by the Austrian painter Egon Schiele, created in 1915. Schiele, known for his raw and emotive style that pushed the boundaries of early 20th-century art, often explored themes of sexuality, death, and rebirth in his works. This particular study is notable for its candid and unapologetic depiction of sexuality, which was characteristic of Schiele's oeuvre and reflective of his interest in human psychology and the exploration of the human condition through art.

The piece features two figures, believed to be Schiele himself and his lover and frequent model, Valerie "Wally" Neuzil, entwined in an intimate embrace. The composition's explicit nature and the raw, almost aggressive quality of the lines were groundbreaking at the time and exemplify Schiele's departure from traditional representations of the nude and erotic subjects in art. The work's linearity and the use of negative space create a tension that is both erotic and unsettling, capturing the complexity of human relationships.

"Sexual Act" is part of Schiele's body of work that was met with both admiration and controversy due to its explicit content and the artist's unorthodox life. Schiele's art was heavily influenced by the Viennese Secession movement and his mentor Gustav Klimt, yet his style was uniquely his own, marked by a raw intensity and psychological depth. The study is a testament to Schiele's legacy as a pioneer of expressionism and his fearless confrontation of societal taboos surrounding sex and the human body.

As an important work in Schiele's oeuvre, "Sexual Act" continues to be studied and exhibited, offering insight into the artist's innovative approach to form and content, as well as the social and cultural mores of early 20th-century Vienna. The piece is held in high regard for its artistic significance and its role in challenging the boundaries of artistic expression.
