Hermits - Egon Schiele Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
In Egon Schiele's 1912 oil on canvas The Hermits, painted deep within the Vienna Expressionist circle, two men's hands meet at the waistline where their black robes seam together. Foreshortened and pale, one hand's fingers splay downward; the other curls beneath it, knuckles shaded in dull rose. This single point of touch is the only contact between figures otherwise erased into a shared column of coal-dark cloth.
Schiele's own face tilts forward, hair cropped and dark. Behind him the second head, likely Gustav Klimt, bears a mask-like complexion mottled in ochre and faded red, as though pigment itself had begun to decay. Rust-toned impasto builds the ground beneath their feet, rough and unfinished; a pale diagonal streak cuts the umber backdrop like a scythe.
In a letter to his patron Carl Reininghaus, Schiele described such figures as bodies tired of life, buckled under their own weight. Here the clasped hands carry that exhaustion, fingers curled around nothing but each other.

Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
