So let's be clear: it's implicitly incest, right? One denial in this article aside, he appears to have encouraged if not caused his younger sisters eroticism as a pre teen, took her away to share a room in the hotel his parents honeymooned in, changed his art after entering a relationship. Nobody knows who the child's father is, fair enough. His pre marriage art was unquestionably "edgy"

Amazing paintings. Also, amazingly disturbing. I cannot conceive of having one on the wall.

The “mystery”? I took it to be the arc of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy with her first daughter Gerti—the new awareness of which makes sense of his sister Gertrude’s shotgun marriage to the best friend Anton, and Schiele’s abrupt stylistic shift and change in lifestyle afterward. Apparently they hid her well.
