"Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up" (also known as "Seated Woman, Knees Drawn Up," "Female Nude," or by its original German title, "Sitzende Frau mit angezogenem Bein") is a striking expressionist drawing by the Austrian artist Egon Schiele, created in 1917. This artwork is emblematic of Schiele's intense exploration of the human form and his departure from traditional representations of the body. The piece is characterized by its raw emotional intensity and the bold use of line and form, which were hallmarks of Schiele's mature work.

Egon Schiele (1890–1918) was a protégé of Gustav Klimt and a significant figure in early 20th-century art, known for his provocative and often sexually explicit depictions of the human body. His work is deeply personal, reflecting his own life experiences and complex psyche. Schiele's art, including "Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up," challenges conventional norms of beauty and propriety, making him a controversial figure in his time and a celebrated pioneer in modern art.

The drawing showcases a nude female figure seated on a chair, her body twisted and her legs drawn up to her chest in a pose that conveys vulnerability and introspection. The use of sharp, angular lines and the stark contrast between the figure and the undefined background emphasize the emotional tension of the piece. Schiele's distinctive technique—marked by expressive contour lines and an almost unfinished quality—captures the essence of his subject's character and mood, rather than providing a literal representation.

"Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up" is not only a testament to Schiele's mastery of drawing and his innovative approach to the nude form but also reflects the broader existential concerns and psychological depth of expressionist art. The work is held in high regard and is considered a key example of Schiele's contribution to modern art, illustrating his ability to convey complex human emotions and the fragility of the human condition through his art.

This drawing, like many of Schiele's works, has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums around the world, contributing to the ongoing discussion and appreciation of Schiele's legacy and the expressionist movement as a whole. Through pieces such as "Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up," Egon Schiele continues to be recognized as a pioneering figure in the exploration of human emotion and the expressive potential of the human body in art.
