Eduard Kosmack sits square to the viewer in a dark green-brown suit, bony hands pressed together between his knees, high forehead and hard pale eyes set against a bare silver-grey wall; a wilting sunflower with orange petals breaks the symmetry at bottom right. Schiele painted the publisher in 1910 and marked it S.10. The Belvedere likens the sitter to a hypnotist and notes that the flat ground still recalls the Vienna Secession, while gesture, body language and expression already carry the portrait. The picture stayed with Kosmack in Mödling, later passed to Ferdinand Eckhardt, and was bought by the museum in 1953.
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
A grey ground, a dark suit and one orange sunflower suit a study, office or library with plain white or grey walls. Pair it with Van Gogh's Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat at 16×24 in a dark wood frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway.
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).
