  1. Oh thanks for sharing! I love Schiele -- we made a point of seeing the biggest collection of his work in Vienna -- but I didn't recall that he ever painted this! (Either it wasn't on exhibit there or I didn't notice because I was years away from breastfeeding myself!)

  2. Wow! So many of his subjects appear so deathly, this one is so oddly life affirming! Leave it to you to bring it forward!

  3. Just stumbled here- How excited am I to find a blog by someone who is a mommy, artist, unschooled person posting an image of a painting by the GOD of my idolotry? Fairly
