"Young Mother", (1914)
Egon Schiele

Technic: oil on canvas
Gallery: Wien Museum

Egon Schiele’s younger sister, Gertrude (Gerti), fell in love with his former Academy classmate and fellow Neukunstgruppe painter, Anton Peschka. She and Peschka married on November 24, 1914, and welcomed a son the following month.

The painting "Young Mother" was Egon's belated wedding gift to Gerti. Its subject, a nurturing, attentive maternal figure, attests to the artist’s high regard for his sister. Today in the collection of the @wienmuseum, "Young Mother" is one of two motherhood allegories Schiele executed in 1914, each representing one of the two types into which he believed humanity could be sorted: “noble spirits” (seen here) and “life-blind and incompetent people” (exemplified by the canvas “Blind Mother).

Gustav Klimt:
Stehender Akt im Profil nach links, den Kopf nach hinten gesenkt ('Standing nude in profile to the left, head bowed back', 1906/07)
Pencil
MoMA, New York
(Strobl s1599)

This is drawing that belongs to numerous studies of standing nudes or semi-nudes Klimt made in 1906 and 1907. Strobl mentions these were studies for the Stoclet Frieze.
