'''Egon Leo Adolf Ludwig Schiele''' ({{IPA|de|ˈeːɡɔn ˈʃiːlə|lang|Egon Schiele.ogg}}; 12 June 1890 – 31 October 1918) was an Austrian Expressionist [[painters|painter]]. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and for the many [[self-portrait]]s the artist produced, including nude self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of [[Expressionism]]. [[Gustav Klimt]], a figurative painter of the early 20th century, was a [[mentor]] to Schiele.

==Biography==
===Early life===
[[File:Egon Schiele - Selbstporträt - 1906.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Self-portrait, 1906 (aged 16)]]
Schiele was born in 1890 in [[Tulln]], [[Lower Austria]]. His father, Adolf Schiele, the station master of the Tulln station in the [[Austrian Federal Railways|Austrian State Railways]], was born in 1851 in [[Vienna]] to Karl Ludwig Schiele, a German from [[Ballenstedt]] and Aloisia Schimak; Egon Schiele's mother Marie, née Soukup, was born in 1861 in [[Český Krumlov]] (Krumau) to Franz Soukup, a Czech father from [[Mirkovice]], and Aloisia Poferl, a [[Sudeten Germans|German Bohemian]] mother from Český Krumlov.{{sfn|Wladika|2012|p=13}}{{sfn|Sabarsky|2000|pp=31–38}} Schiele had three sisters, Elvira, Melanie and Gertrude.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Jiminez |first=Jill Berk |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8vxXAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA492&dq=%22melanie+schiele%22&hl=sv&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv1bKbksOLAxXXHRAIHQQ_GXoQ6AF6BAgKEAM#v=onepage&q=%22melanie%20schiele%22&f=false |title=Dictionary of Artists' Models |date=2013-10-15 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-135-95921-0 |language=en}}</ref> Elvira died as a child of [[congenital syphilis]].<ref name=":1" /> Before the birth of Schiele his mother had suffered the still-births of three sons.<ref name=":2" /> 

According to family lore Adolf Schiele had contracted syphilis during his honeymoon in [[Trieste]], when he had visited a brothel<ref name=":2" /> after his new wife, scared of the consummation of the marriage, fled their bedroom. When the couple had sex a few days later her husband then passed on the disease to his wife.<ref name=":2" />

As a child, Schiele was fascinated by trains, and would spend many hours drawing them. Seeing Schiele's drawing as a detriment to his son's schoolwork, his father destroyed these sketchbooks.{{cn|date=April 2025}}

Schiele senior was known to have had an interest in collecting minerals and butterflies and also liked to draw.<ref name=":22">{{Cite book |last=Selsdon |first=Esther |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TtQA0Fec6NMC&pg=PA7&dq=%22egon+schiele%22+mirror+flu&hl=sv&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiqjrf_lsOLAxUYHhAIHa9bAFQQ6AF6BAgIEAM#v=onepage&q=%22egon%20schiele%22%20mirror%20flu&f=false |title=Egon Schiele |last2=Zwingerberger |first2=Jeanette |date=2012-01-17 |publisher=Parkstone International |isbn=978-1-78042-737-9 |language=en}}</ref> Schiele's family life was however  deeply influenced by his father's illness and as the syphilis progressed it left him in a state of mental confusion and would oftentimes cast him into fits of rage. 

When he was 11 years old, Schiele moved to the nearby city of [[Krems an der Donau|Krems]] (and later to [[Klosterneuburg]]) to attend secondary school. To those around him, Schiele was regarded as a strange child. Shy and reserved, he did poorly at school except in athletics and drawing,{{sfn|Whitford|1981|p=30}} and was usually in classes made up of younger pupils. He also displayed a sexual interest in his younger sister Gertrude (who was known as ''Gerti''), and his father once broke down the door of a locked room that Egon and Gerti were in to see what they were doing, only to discover them developing film. When he was sixteen he took the twelve-year-old Gerti by train to [[Trieste]] without permission and spent a night in a hotel room with her.{{sfn|Whitford|1989|p=29}}

=== Academy of Fine Arts ===

When Schiele was 14&nbsp;years old, his father died from syphilis, and the family that had been fairly wealthy were left impoverished. Before his death Schiele's father in a fit of insanity had burned the railway stocks he owned which would have helped out the family's economy. Schiele's elder sister Melanie became the sole breadwinner of the family when she was hired as a ticket clerk at the local railway station.

Schiele and his younger sister Gerti became wards of his uncle (by marriage to Schiele's paternal aunt Maria), Leopold Czihaczek, also a railway official.{{sfn|Sabarsky|2000|pp=31–38}} Although he wanted Schiele to follow in his footsteps, and was distressed at his lack of interest in academia, he recognised Schiele's talent for drawing and allowed him a tutor, the artist Ludwig Karl Strauch. Eventually the uncle renounced his guardianship of Schiele and Schiele became dependent on financial support from his mother to continue his art studies. This support was cut off due to his sister Melanie objecting to the expense of it and it caused a rift in the family.{{cn|date=April 2025}}

In 1906 Schiele applied to the [[Kunstgewerbeschule]] (School of Arts and Crafts) in [[Vienna]], where [[Gustav Klimt]] had once studied. Within his first year there, Schiele was sent, at the insistence of several faculty members, to the more traditional [[Academy of Fine Arts Vienna|Akademie der Bildenden Künste]] in Vienna in 1906. His main teacher at the academy was [[Christian Griepenkerl]], a painter whose strict doctrine and ultra-conservative style frustrated and dissatisfied Schiele so much that he left after three years.{{cn|date=April 2025}}

===Klimt and first exhibitions===
[[File:Egon Schiele 060.jpg|thumb|''Portrait of [[Arthur Roessler|Arthur Rössler]]'', 1910]]
In 1907, Schiele sought out Gustav Klimt, who generously mentored younger artists. Klimt took a particular interest in the young Schiele, buying his drawings, offering to exchange them for some of his own, arranging models for him and introducing him to potential patrons. He also introduced Schiele to the [[Wiener Werkstätte]], the arts and crafts workshop connected with the [[Vienna Secession|Secession]]. Schiele's earliest works between 1907 and 1909 contain strong similarities with those of Klimt,{{sfn|Kallir|2003|pp=46, 52, 60}} as well as influences from [[Art Nouveau]].{{sfn|Kallir|2003|p=41}} In 1908 Schiele had his first exhibition, in [[Klosterneuburg]]. Schiele left the academy in 1909, after completing his third year, and founded the ''Neukunstgruppe'' ("New Art Group") with other dissatisfied students. In his early years, Schiele was strongly influenced by [[Gustav Klimt|Klimt]] and [[Oskar Kokoschka|Kokoschka]]. Although imitations of their styles, particularly with the former, are noticeably visible in Schiele's first works, he soon evolved his own distinctive style.

[[File:Portrait of painter Anton Peschka by Egon Schiele.jpg|thumb|''Portrait of [[Anton Peschka]]'' 1909]]
[[File:Egon Schiele 070.jpg|thumb|left|upright|''Bedroom in Neulengbach'', 1911]]
Klimt invited Schiele to exhibit some of his work at the 1909 Vienna ''Kunstschau'', where he encountered the work of [[Edvard Munch]], [[Jan Toorop]], and [[Vincent van Gogh]] among others. Once free of the academy's constraints, Schiele began to explore not only the human form, but also sexuality. Schiele's work was already daring, but it went a bold step further with the inclusion of Klimt's decorative eroticism and figurative distortions. He also painted tributes to [[Van Gogh]]'s ''Sunflowers'' as well as landscapes and still lifes.<ref>{{Cite journal|title= Egon Schiele: Erotic, Grotesque and on Display|publisher=ARTINFO|date= 1 April 2005|url= http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/108/egon-schiele-erotic-grotesque-and-on-display/|access-date=17 April 2008}}</ref>

In 1910, Schiele began experimenting with nudes, and within a year a definitive style featuring emaciated, sickly-coloured figures, often with strong sexual overtones, began to emerge. Schiele also began painting and drawing children.{{sfn|Kallir|2003|pp=86, 88, 123}} 

[[File:TrckaSchiele1.jpg|thumbnail|left|upright|Egon Schiele photographed by [[Anton Josef Trčka]], 1914]]
Schiele began to participate in what would be numerous group exhibitions, including those of the Neukunstgruppe in Prague in 1910 and [[Budapest]] in 1912; the [[Sonderbund westdeutscher Kunstfreunde und Künstler|Sonderbund]], [[Cologne]], in 1912; and several Secessionist shows in [[Munich]], beginning in 1911. In 1911, at the age of twenty-one, Schiele met the seventeen-year-old [[Wally Neuzil|Walburga (Wally) Neuzil]], who lived with him in Vienna and served as a model for some of his most striking paintings. She had previously modelled for [[Gustav Klimt]] and might have been one of his mistresses. Schiele and Wally wanted to escape what they perceived as the claustrophobic Viennese milieu, and went to the small town of [[Český Krumlov|Český Krumlov (Krumau)]] in southern [[Bohemia]]. Krumau was the birthplace of Schiele's mother; today it is the site of a museum dedicated to Schiele. Despite Schiele's family connections in Krumau, he and his lover were driven out of the town by the residents, who strongly disapproved of their [[Bohemianism|bohemian]] lifestyle, including his alleged employment of the town's teenage girls as models. Progressively, Schiele's work grew more complex and thematic, and he eventually would begin dealing with themes such as death and rebirth.{{sfn|Kallir|2003|pp=224, 230, 231}}

===Neulengbach and imprisonment===
[[File:Egon Schiele - Die eine Orange war das einzige Licht19-4-1912.jpeg|thumb|Schiele's drawing of his prison cell in Neulengbach]]
Together the couple moved to [[Neulengbach]], {{convert|35|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of Vienna, seeking inspirational surroundings and an inexpensive studio in which to work. As had been the case in the capital, young people and teenagers gathered in Schiele's new studio in Neulengbach. Schiele's way of life aroused much animosity among the town's inhabitants, and in April 1912 he was arrested under suspicion of kidnapping and seducing a girl of 13.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Johnson |first1=Ken |title=The Wider, Not Wilder, Egon Schiele |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/21/arts/design/the-wider-not-wilder-egon-schiele.html |website=The New York Times |date=21 October 2005 |access-date=2 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Kallier |first1=Jane |title=Egon Schiele was not a sex offender |url=https://www.theartnewspaper.com/comment/egon-schiele-was-not-a-sex-offender |website=The Art Newspaper |date=June 2018 |access-date=2 March 2020}}</ref>

When the police came to his studio to place Schiele under arrest, they seized more than a hundred drawings which they considered pornographic. Schiele was imprisoned while awaiting his trial. When his case was brought before a judge, the charges were dropped, but the artist was found guilty of exhibiting erotic drawings in a place accessible to children. In court, the judge burned one of the drawings ("depicting a very young girl dressed only above the waist"<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |last=Blackshaw |first=Gemma |editor-last=Natter |editor-first=Tobias |encyclopedia=Egon Schiele.

The twenty-one days he had already spent in custody were taken into account, and he was sentenced to a further three days' imprisonment. While in prison, Schiele created a series of paintings depicting his jail cell.

In 1913, the [[Hans Goltz|Galerie Hans Goltz]], Munich, mounted Schiele's first solo show. A solo exhibition of his work took place in [[Paris]] in 1914.{{sfn|Kallir|2003|pp=277, 362, 444}}

=== World War I ===
[[File:Schiele - Edith Schiele in gestreiftem Kleid sitzend - 1915.jpg|thumb|upright|Edith Schiele in a Striped Dress, Seated, 1915 [[Leopold Museum]]]]
In 1914, Schiele glimpsed the sisters Edith and Adéle Harms, who lived with their parents across the street from his studio in the Viennese district of Hietzing, 101 Hietzinger Hauptstraße. They were a [[middle-class]] family and [[Protestant]] by faith; their father was a master [[locksmith]]. In 1915, Schiele chose to marry the more socially acceptable Edith, but had apparently expected to continue his relationship with Wally. When he explained the situation to Wally, she left him immediately and never saw him again. This abandonment led him to paint ''[[Death and the Maiden (Schiele)|Death and the Maiden]]'', where Wally's portrait is based on a previous pairing, but Schiele's is newly struck. (In February 1915, Schiele wrote a note to his friend [[Arthur Roessler]] stating: "I intend to get married, advantageously. Not to Wally."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Азаренко |first=Наталья |date=2017-10-26 |title=Love story in pictures: Egon Schiele and Wally Neuzil |url=https://arthive.com/de/publications/2954~Love_story_in_pictures_Egon_Schiele_and_Wally_Neuzil |access-date=2024-07-01 |publisher=Arthive |language=DE}}</ref>) Despite some opposition from the Harms family, Schiele and Edith were married on 17 June 1915, the anniversary of the wedding of Schiele's parents.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Family tree of Adolf Eugen SCHIELE |url=https://gw.geneanet.org/tinagaquer?lang=en&n=schiele&oc=0&p=adolf+eugen |access-date=2023-04-21 |publisher=Geneanet }}</ref>

[[File:Egon-schiele.jpg|thumb|upright|Photograph of Egon Schiele, 1910s]]
Although Schiele avoided conscription for almost a year, [[World War I]] now began to shape his life and work. Three days after his wedding, Schiele was ordered to report for active service in the army where he was initially stationed in [[Prague]]. Edith came with him and stayed in a hotel in the city, while Egon lived in an exhibition hall with his fellow conscripts. They were allowed by Schiele's commanding officer to see each other occasionally.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Life and Work of Egon Schiele, Austrian Expressionist Painter |url=https://www.thoughtco.com/egon-schiele-biography-4177835 |access-date=2023-04-21 |publisher=ThoughtCo }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Lamb |first=Bill |date=31 December 2018 |title="Life and Work of Egon Schiele, Austrian Expressionist Painter" |url=https://www.thoughtco.com/egon-schiele-biography-4177835 |access-date=5 April 2023 |publisher=ThoughtCo}}</ref>

During the war, Schiele's paintings became larger and more detailed. His military service gave him limited time, and much of his output consisted of linear drawings of scenery and military officers. Around this time, Schiele also began experimenting with the themes of motherhood and family.{{sfn|Kallir|2003|pp=277, 362, 444}} His wife Edith was the model for most of his female figures, but during the war (due to circumstance) many of his sitters were male. From 1915, Schiele's female nudes became fuller in figure, and many were deliberately illustrated with a lifeless doll-like appearance.<ref>{{Cite web |last=DailyArt |title=Mother and Daughter by Egon Schiele via DailyArt mobile app |url=https://www.getdailyart.com/en/19460/egon-schiele/mother-and-daughter |access-date=2024-07-01 |publisher=getdailyart.com }}</ref>

Despite his military service, Schiele was still exhibiting in Berlin. He also had successful shows in [[Zürich]], [[Prague]], and [[Dresden]]. His first duties consisted of guarding and escorting Russian prisoners. Because of his weak heart and his excellent handwriting, Schiele was eventually given a job as a clerk in a POW camp near the town of Mühling. There, he was allowed to draw and paint imprisoned Russian officers; his commander, Karl Moser (who assumed that Schiele was a painter and decorator when he first met him), even gave him a disused store room to use as a studio. Since Schiele was in charge of the food stores in the camp, he and Edith could enjoy food beyond rations.{{sfn|Whitford|1981|pp=164–168}}

[[File:Secession. 49 Ausstellung... Egon Schiele 1918.jpg|thumb|left|upright|1918 poster Vienna Secession]]
Schiele did everything he could to get out of military service. In January 1917 he was transferred to a military supply depot in [[Vienna]] and given no particular responsibilities. He was again able to focus on his artistic career and his output was prolific. His work reflected the maturity of an artist in full command of his talents.<ref>{{Cite web |author1= Nina Siegal |date=26 March 2025 |title=When the Wild Child Egon Schiele Grew Up |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/arts/design/egon-schiele-last-years-leopold-museum.html |access-date=5 April 2025 |publisher=New York Times}}</ref> Schiele was invited to participate in the 49th [[Vienna Secession]] exhibition held in 1918. Schiele had fifty works accepted for this exhibition, and they were displayed in the main hall. He also designed a poster for the exhibition. The composition was reminiscent of the [[Last Supper]], with a portrait of himself in the place of [[Christ]]. The show was a triumphant success. As a result, prices for Schiele's drawings increased and he received many portrait commissions.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Dabrowski |first1=Magdalena |last2=Leopold |first2=Rudolf |date=1997 |title="Egon Schiele : The Leopold Collection Vienna" |url=https://www.moma.org/documents/moma_catalogue_264_300063176.pdf |access-date=11 April 2023 |publisher=Museum of Modern Art}}</ref>

===Death===
In the autumn of 1918, the [[1918 flu pandemic|Spanish flu]] [[pandemic]] reached Vienna. Edith, who was six months pregnant, died from the disease on 28 October.  Schiele, very sick and weak, was transferred from the couple's home to his in-laws' house. Due to fear of contagion, visitors would communicate with Schiele from afar by way of a mirror which was set up on the threshold of his room and the parlour.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Selsdon |first=Esther |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TtQA0Fec6NMC&pg=PA7&dq=%22egon+schiele%22+mirror+flu&hl=sv&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiqjrf_lsOLAxUYHhAIHa9bAFQQ6AF6BAgIEAM#v=onepage&q=%22egon%20schiele%22%20mirror%20flu&f=false |title=Egon Schiele |last2=Zwingerberger |first2=Jeanette |date=2012-01-17 |publisher=Parkstone International |isbn=978-1-78042-737-9 |language=en}}</ref>  Among Schiele's last visitors were his mother Marie and sister Melanie.

Schiele died three days after his wife. He was 28&nbsp;years old. During the three days between their deaths, Schiele drew a few sketches of Edith.<ref>Frank Whitford, Expressionist Portraits, Abbeville Press, 1987, p. 46. {{ISBN|0-89659-780-6}}.</ref>

==Style==
[[Jane Kallir]] has described Schiele's work as grotesque, erotic, pornographic, or disturbing, with a focus on sex, death, and discovery. He focused on portraits of others as well as himself. In his later years, while he still worked often with nudes, they were done in a more realist fashion.{{sfn|Kallir|2003|pp=277, 362, 444}} From a young age, Schiele drew with 'manic fluency'.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Gayford|first=Martin|date=8 November 2014|title=Egon Schiele at the Courtauld: a one-note samba of spindly limbs, nipples and pudenda {{!}} The Spectator|url=https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/egon-schiele-at-the-courtauld-a-one-note-samba-of-spindly-limbs-nipples-and-pudenda|access-date=22 June 2021|website=[[The Spectator]]|language=en}}</ref>

Art critic Martin Gayford wrote in ''[[The Spectator]]'': 'He [Schiele] found his distinctive style very early. His entire oeuvre is that of a young man; most of the work in the first of the two rooms of this densely packed little exhibition dates from 1910 to 1911, when Schiele (1890–1918) was just 20. That helps to explain some tendencies: a half-disgusted preoccupation with sexuality and a similarly queasy fascination with examining his naked self. The male figures mainly seem to have been modelled by the artist, though it is hard to be certain since the head is often not included.'<ref name=":0" />

Kallir and scholar Gerald Izenberg regard Schiele as fluid in sexuality and gender. Kallir says Schiele was "struggling with his own sexual feelings and gender norms" during a historical period of shifting gender expectations, the [[Women's suffrage in Austria|early women's movement]], and [[criminalization of homosexuality]]. Some critics in the 21st century read his artwork as [[queer]].<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.dazeddigital.com/art-photography/article/42322/1/lgbtq-legacy-egon-schiele-art-painting-vienna-exhibition-royal-academy |title=The hidden LGBTQ legacy of Egon Schiele's art works |date=December 3, 2018 |first=Lydia |last=Morrish |magazine=Dazed & Confused Magazine }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title=Egon Schiele: Expressionist Art and Masculine Crisis |doi=10.2513/s07351690pi2603_11 |date=June 2006 |journal=Psychoanalytic Inquiry |volume=26 |number=3 |pages=462–483 |doi-broken-date=1 November 2024 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/241730124 }}</ref>

A less known fact about Schiele's career is that, during his studies at the School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna, he explored sculpture and created a number of small-scale clay and plaster sculptures.<ref>{{cite web |title=Egon Schiele, Austrian, 1890–1918.

Schiele was the subject of the 1980 biographical film ''Excess and Punishment'' (aka ''[[Egon Schiele – Exzess und Bestrafung]]''), originating in Germany with a European cast that explores Schiele's artistic demons leading up to his early death. The film was directed by [[Herbert Vesely]] and stars [[Mathieu Carrière]] as Schiele, [[Jane Birkin]] as his early artistic muse Wally Neuzil, Christine Kaufman as his wife, Edith Harms, and Kristina Van Eyck as her sister, Adele Harms. Also in 1980, the [[Arts Council of Great Britain]] produced a documentary film, ''[[Schiele in Prison]]'', which looked at the circumstances of Schiele's imprisonment and the veracity of his diary.<ref name=art>{{cite web|title =Schiele In Prison|url=http://artsonfilm.wmin.ac.uk/films.php?a=view&recid=97|access-date=2 April 2015|work=Arts on Film Archive}}</ref>  In 2016 another biographical film was released, ''[[Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden]]'' (German: ''Egon Schiele: Tod und Mädchen'').<ref>{{Cite web |title=Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden (Egon Schiele: Tod und Mädchen) |url=https://cineuropa.org/en/film/317834/ |access-date=2023-04-21 |website=Cineuropa - the best of european cinema |language=en}}</ref>

[[Joanna Scott]]'s 1990 novel ''Arrogance'' was based on Schiele's life and makes him the main figure. His life was also depicted in a theatrical dance production by Stephan Mazurek called ''Egon Schiele'', presented in May 1995, for which [[Rachel's]], an American [[post-rock]] group, composed a score titled ''[[Music for Egon Schiele]]''.<ref>{{cite web

==Nazi-looted art==
Egon Schiele had among his admirers many Jewish art collectors whose collections were looted under the Nazis: in Germany from 1933, in Austria from the Anschluss of 1938, and in France from the German occupation of 1940.  As a result, numerous restitution cases in the 21st century involve artworks by Schiele.  Egon Schiele's ''[[Dead City III|Dead City]], "Woman in Black Pinafore"'' (1911) and ''"Woman Hiding Her Face"'' (1912) were owned by Jewish cabaret artist and film star [[Fritz Grünbaum]] before the Nazis deported him to the Dachau concentration camp.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Murder, Mystery and Egon Schiele's "Dead City": Presentation by Raymond Dowd, Jewish Museum Berlin, 19.30pm 18 May 2009|url=https://www.lootedart.com/NL6ST1616321|access-date=4 February 2021|website=www.lootedart.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=NY Appeals Court Explains Why Nazi-Stolen Paintings Belong With Jewish Collector's Heirs|url=https://www.lootedart.com/news.php?r=TQDVFB923191|access-date=4 February 2021|website=www.lootedart.com}}</ref> ''Krumau'' (1916) was owned by [[Daisy Hellmann]] until it was seized by Nazis in 1942.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Artdaily|title=Sotheby's to Sell Restituted Masterpiece by Egon Schiele|url=https://artdaily.cc/news/4902/Sotheby-s-to-Sell-Restituted-Masterpiece-by-Egon-Schiele|access-date=4 February 2021|website=artdaily.cc|language=English}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Cases: Krumau, 1916 or 'Städtchen am Fluß' by Egon Schiele: Restitution decision by the City of Linz December 2002|url=https://www.lootedart.com/MISE54775461_print;Y|access-date=4 February 2021|website=www.lootedart.com}}</ref> She first made a restitution claim in 1948 but her heirs were not able to recover the Schiele until 2002: Austria's Nazi looting organization, the [[Vugesta]], had auctioned ''Krumau'' at the ''Dorotheum'' in Vienna on 24–27 February 1942, where the ''Sanct Lucas'' gallery bought it on behalf of [[Wolfgang Gurlitt]].

The Schiele was looted by the Vugesta and put up for auction at the Dorotheum on 24–27 February 1942, where it was bought by the Viennese Sanct Lucas gallery for RM 1,800 on behalf of the art dealer Wolfgang Gurlitt.
