Standing Girl, Egon Schiele c. 1908-1909

Baroque (1600 - 1725) Usage of the term is often extended to the whole period 1600–1750 without qualifying restrictions, or improperly to mean a florid and elaborate style in art, architecture, music or literature, of any date from late antiquity to the early 20th century. —Google Arts & Culture
