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 exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. 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 12×18 in a black frame.
