About this work

Artist: Egon Schiele (1890–1918)
Year: 1912
Medium: Oil and gouache on panel
Original size: 32.2 × 39.8 cm
Collection: Leopold Museum, Vienna
Movement: Expressionism

Schiele, aged twenty-two, tilts his head and looks out with narrowed eyes from a small panel, his dark jacket and white collar rendered in angular strokes, a sprig of orange physalis lanterns curling across the pale background behind him. He painted it in Vienna in 1912, the year he spent twenty-four days in prison at Neulengbach on charges connected to his drawings of adolescents, and it has a companion portrait of his lover and model Wally Neuzil in the same format. Compared with his earlier contorted self-images, the picture is composed and almost tender; the face is drawn with precision and the colour kept to ochre, brown and that one burst of orange. It is the best-known work in 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 small panel in ochre and brown with one burst of orange, best at eye level and close range: a study, reading corner or landing at 12×18 or 16×24 in black. It suits a white or warm grey wall and holds its own without company.

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. 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. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Self-Portrait with Physalis in the public domain?

Yes. Egon Schiele (1890–1918) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Leopold Museum.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Self-Portrait with Physalis painted, and in what medium?

Self-Portrait with Physalis dates from 1912 and was made in oil and gouache on panel; the original measures 32.2 × 39.8 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Self-Portrait with Physalis we'd choose 12×18.
