A cracked, roughly plastered house front fills the canvas, crossed by two broad bands of brown and grey shingle roof, its windows scattered unevenly, each different, some open and some shut, framed in red, ochre or green; a blue strip of path runs along the bottom and there is no sky. Schiele painted it in 1914, probably after a building in Krumau (Český Krumlov), his mother's birthplace, and used paint that resembles real plaster. The Belvedere bought it in 1948 from the painter Hans Böhler in New York, who had owned it since before 1917.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Chalky white plaster, brown shingle and small flashes of red make a textured, quiet picture for a hallway, kitchen or study. Pair it with Hammershøi's Interior, Sunlight on the Floor at 24×18 in a black frame.
