The story of Portrait of Wally
The portrait shows Walburga 'Wally' Neuzil, whom Schiele met in 1911 and who became his lover and model. Rudolf Leopold obtained the painting in 1954 and it passed into the Leopold Museum. After a 1997-98 exhibition in New York it was seized in a restitution case and stayed in litigation for years; in July 2010 the Leopold Museum agreed to pay $19 million to the heirs of Lea Bondi Jaray.

Egon Schiele
Egon Leo Adolf Ludwig Schiele was an Austrian Expressionist painter. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and for the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterise 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.
