I am very attracted to Harbour of Trieste made by Egon Schiele in 1907 [French & Company].

It is an extraordinary tour de force by a brilliant artist. The way that Schiele was able to contrast his decorative drawing of the reflections in the water with the near-academic treatment of the boats is compelling.

I would choose to enhance this work with a 17th-century Spanish frame with a round form and gold line that we refer to as the ‘Schiele frame’, as we have successfully used it on several Schiele drawings and paintings in the past.
