Description from the seller

- Gustav Klimt (after), authorized offset lithograph on textured matte paper (approx. 300gsm).

Stamp on the verso.

Embossed stamp.

- Condition: very good. Never framed, never exposed.

Size of each: 43 x 59 cm.

Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was one of the most influential figures of European modernism and the leading artist of the Vienna Secession. Initially trained as a decorative painter, Klimt evolved from academic historicism toward a highly personal language that combined symbolism, sensuality, and ornamental abstraction. His mature work is characterized by flattened space, decorative patterns, expressive color, and a refined balance between figuration and surface design. While best known for his golden phase rich in gold leaf and Byzantine references, Klimt also produced remarkable figurative and portrait works that reveal psychological depth and painterly freedom.

From a market perspective, Klimt is among the most highly valued artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Major oil paintings are extremely rare on the open market, many being held in museum collections or private foundations. When they do appear, prices reach extraordinary levels, frequently exceeding tens or even hundreds of millions of euros. His works on paper, including drawings and studies, are more accessible but still command very strong prices, reflecting sustained global demand, limited supply, and Klimt’s canonical status in art history.

A key example of his figurative portraiture is Mäda Primavesi (1912). The piece portrays a young girl standing confidently against a vibrant, floral-patterned background. Unlike Klimt’s more iconic golden portraits, this work emphasizes color, texture, and psychological presence rather than metallic ornament. Mäda’s frontal stance, direct gaze, and almost monumental scale convey self-assurance and individuality, while the lively brushwork and decorative motifs dissolve the boundary between figure and environment. The work exemplifies Klimt’s late stylistic freedom and his ability to merge portraiture with decorative modernism qualities that make such works especially prized in both scholarly and market contexts today.
