1910
(Tulln 1890–1918 Vienna)
(Vienna 1885–1940 Vienna)
Transcription:
There up on the
wide forest-lined
undulating land the white
tall man walks
slowly amidst blue smoke
and smells, and smells
the white forest winds;
he walks through the
cellar-scented earth.
And laughs and cries.
Egon Schiele 1910.
[written by a foreign hand:] To Painter A. [Anton] Peschka 1910.
