Title: Weibliches Liebespaar (Female Lovers)
About the work / Year: 1915; type: drawing; medium: gouache and pencil; original dimensions: 32.5 × 49.5 cm
This work depicting a female couple brings the theme of a failed relationship to a climax.
The gouache shows a mature nude woman, disillusioned and perhaps exhausted, lying on a contorted doll.
The doll's expression gives no indication that it understands what has happened; its face resembles that of a puppet.
Schiele’s exploration of dolls as unconscious playmates symbolizes the alienation caused by the causal relationships between people.

About the artist
Artist introduction / Egon Schiele (12 June 1890–31 October 1918) was an Austrian painter who studied under Gustav Klimt and became an important figure in early twentieth-century Expressionism. His work is distinguished by its intense expressiveness, distorted figures and limbs, and frequent self-portraits. Many of his works are held by the Leopold Museum.
