"The Small City Aka Dead City VI" is a notable painting by the Austrian expressionist artist Egon Schiele, created in 1911. This artwork is part of a series of cityscapes that Schiele painted, which are collectively known as the "Dead City" series. The painting is characterized by its haunting portrayal of Krumau, the artist's mother's hometown, also known as Český Krumlov in the present-day Czech Republic. Schiele's connection to the town was personal and complex, as he spent part of his childhood there and later returned to find artistic inspiration.

Measuring 75 x 75 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas. It depicts a view of the town with a distinctive use of sharp angles, twisted perspectives, and a muted color palette that conveys a sense of desolation and decay. The architectural forms are rendered with a certain rigidity and appear to be devoid of human presence, which is a common theme in Schiele's cityscapes. The work reflects Schiele's expressionist approach, where emotional experience takes precedence over realistic representation.

"The Small City Aka Dead City VI" is considered an important work in Schiele's oeuvre, as it exemplifies his transition from the influence of his mentor, Gustav Klimt, and the Vienna Secession, towards a more personal and expressive style that would come to define his mature work. The painting is also significant for its exploration of themes such as isolation, existential anxiety, and the relationship between man and the urban environment.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied and exhibited as an example of Schiele's innovative approach to landscape painting and his contribution to early 20th-century modernism. The "Dead City" series, with "The Small City Aka Dead City VI" as a prominent example, remains a testament to Schiele's ability to capture the psychological undertones of the environment around him, making it a subject of enduring interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike.
