Seen from slightly above, Edith Schiele sits with her hands folded, wrapped in an olive-green jacket over a dress of bold black and white stripes, a white collar edged in red at her throat and her piled-up hair in the same olive tone. The figure fills an otherwise bare cream sheet. Schiele made the drawing in pencil and gouache in 1915, the year he married Edith Harms, who had lived with her family across the road from his studio in Hietzing. According to the Leopold Museum, she went on to pose for him repeatedly. The sheet has belonged to the museum since 1994.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Black-and-white stripes, olive green and a bare cream sheet suit a bedroom, dressing room or hallway with white or warm grey walls. Pair it with Schiele's Self-Portrait with Physalis at 16×24 in a black frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
