A painting by a teenaged Egon Schiele, thought lost for decades, has been found—and will be turned into an NFT to fund its restoration:
An early work by Egon Schiele, painted when the artist was just 16 and still a student, has resurfaced in a private collection after it was believed to be lost. The owners of have now agreed to a five-year loan of the work to the Leopold Museum in Vienna, where it will soon go on display.
For some time, the painting was only known to the public through preliminary studies and a black-and-white photograph from 1930. It had been owned by another ward of Czihaczek’s, Gustav Huber, until his death in 1945, and then entered another Austrian private collection. Last recorded in a 1972, the work finally came to light again when its current owner sought advice on having it restored.
“The painting’s brushwork reveals Impressionist tendencies and shows the muted palette characteristic of his early oeuvre,” noted Verena Gamper, head of the Leopold Museum Research Center. “The close-up view of the piano player, the framing of the head by the bright window panes and the resulting focus on the sheets of music all convey an effect of being entirely immersed in the music.”
