Egon Schiele s images of newborns and recently discovered drawings by his friend Erwin Osen go on show in Vienna

Egon Schiele s Erwin Dominik Osen, Nude with Crossed Arms (1910) ©Leopold Museum/ Manfred Thumberger A gaunt man with crooked limbs turns towards us, rosy lips parted, emerald eyes fringed with lashes. Beneath his scrubby facial hair, his cheeks and chin are stained a lemon yellow. His hands look raw, like they have been peeled; two fingers have turned a mouldy green, as if fighting infection. He is Erwin Osen, companion and model to the Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, who created this work in 1910. In fact, Osen was an artist too, and a tightly focused exhibition at the Leopold Museum in Vienna aims to explore their shared fascination with the body through the lens of clinical medicine.
