1926
Red chalk on light gray tinted paper
Museum Schloss Bruck

Description of the picture:

This picture was created in 1926, the year of his death and is a part of the Egger - Lienz Gallery. Amongst other prints (spinning wheel, drummer, studies for important paintings, etc.) this picture is exhibited in one of the showcases. Egger paints himself looking serious, his facial expression seems to be tired and thoughtful.
The style of this portrait shows his usual fondness for simplification, not focusing on details. Nevertheless, you can easily notice the typical traits of a portrait (but reduced to the essentials).
