Standing Nude with a Patterned Robe is a 1917 gouache by Egon Schiele, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a standing nude woman with a patterned robe draped over her arm. Her brown hair is pulled up, and she faces left, with her head turned slightly to the right. The woman's body is rendered in a range of colors, including pink, blue, and yellow, with visible brushstrokes and texture. Her right hand grasps the robe, while her left hand hangs by her side. The background of the painting is a warm beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's vibrant skin tones. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. The artist's use of watercolor and glazing techniques adds depth and luminosity to the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and figure.
