Plot summary

Egon Schiele lives in artistic poverty in prewar Vienna with his younger sister Gerti, supported by an allowance sent from Prague by a rich uncle who does not know that Egon has given up his university studies for drawing. He is drawn to figure studies of young women, and the drawings he sells bring in modest sums. As his work circulates he meets Gustav Klimt, who admires it and offers to buy some; Egon refuses, saying money is not his aim, so Klimt proposes trading drawings instead. Klimt's model Walburga Neuzil, called Wally, comes to Egon's studio, poses for him and becomes his lover. Gerti, whom he no longer draws, writes to their uncle about the rival. The uncle withdraws the stipend. Complaints from local residents about the nude studies reach the police, and Egon is summoned to a hearing.
