A wind-bent bare tree rises from a dark grassy mound

A gnarled, mostly bare tree rises from a dark brown earthen mound rendered in dense, upright brushstrokes suggesting dry grass. The slender trunk, patched with blue-black, bends and forks into a network of thin branches that reach toward the upper corners of the canvas, one branch extending off the right edge. The sky is a pale, mottled gray-white with visible swirling brushwork. The artist's signature and the date are inscribed at the lower right.

Egon Schiele (1890–1918) was the most uncompromising draughtsman of Viennese Expressionism. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, he exhibited from 1909 and developed an angular, nervous line and a raw treatment of the body — self-portraits, figures, and later townscapes and landscapes of equal intensity. He died in the influenza epidemic of 1918 at twenty-eight, days after his wife. His work is held by the Leopold Museum and the Belvedere in Vienna and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
