Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 41.3 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Schiele's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 181 × 181 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Leopold Museum, Vienna, Austria. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Egon Schiele’s "The Hermits" is exactly what you’d expect from him - a dark meditation on human frailty, bursting with psychological intensity. Schiele never bothered with conventional beauty, and this painting is no exception. It’s all about rawness - a confrontation with the messiness of existence, dressed up in black robes and skeletal limbs.

Here, we’ve got two figures - Schiele and his mentor, Gustav Klimt - but fused together in a way that makes them feel less like people and more like specters. They’re crammed into these shapeless, suffocating black cloaks, almost like they’re being swallowed by the void. There’s something grotesque about the way Schiele renders their faces - gaunt, half-dead expressions that seem to say more about suffering than companionship. Their bodies are contorted, the limbs exaggerated, the hands claw-like. Classic Schiele.

And those colors - if you can call them that. The palette is almost devoid of life. Dirty browns, murky greens, and oppressive blacks dominate. The rare glimpse of flesh is sickly pale, giving the figures an almost corpse-like feel. And yet, there’s this absurd little pop of red at the bottom - a single flower, as if mocking the whole grim affair with its defiant bloom.

Compositionally, it’s tight but suffocating. Schiele packs the canvas with their twisted forms, leaving barely any space to breathe. There’s no horizon, no escape from the weight of these two figures pressing against each other. The whole thing feels claustrophobic, like you’re being drawn into their strange, uncomfortable dance. It’s Schiele at his most intense - unflinching, unsettling, and unforgettable.
