Wally Neuzil tilts her head and looks out with wide, pale blue eyes, her copper hair pushed back and a lace collar spread over a black dress, against a thickly brushed white ground. A sprig of dark leaves and red berries trails down the right edge. Schiele painted the small panel in 1912 as a counterpart to his Self-Portrait with Chinese Lantern Plant; Neuzil was his partner and model until 1915. A US court found in 2009 that it had been taken from the dealer Lea Bondi Jaray in the late 1930s; a 2010 settlement with her estate returned it to the Leopold Museum in Vienna.
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 white ground, a black dress and two vivid blue eyes make a small, direct portrait for a study, reading corner or bedroom, hung at eye level. Pair it with Schiele's Self-Portrait with Physalis, the companion he painted for it, at 16×12 in a black frame.

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