Description from the seller
- Gustav Klimt (after), "Lady with a Fan, 1917", offset lithograph on matte textured paper (approx. 300gsm).
Stamp on the verso.
Embossed stamp.
- Condition: very good. Never framed, never exposed.
Size of each item: 43 x 46 cm.
- Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was an Austrian painter known for his opulent, decorative style that blended symbolism and Art Nouveau influences. As a founding member of the Vienna Secession, Klimt broke away from traditional academic art to explore themes of sensuality, femininity, and allegory. His “Golden Phase”, during which he used gold leaf and intricate patterns inspired by Byzantine mosaics, remains his most famous period.
"Lady with a Fan" is one of Klimt’s final works and showcases his growing fascination with Asian art and motifs. Unlike many of his formal portraits, this work has a more relaxed, spontaneous feel. The woman, depicted in three-quarter profile, is surrounded by a background filled with oriental birds, lotus flowers, and rich textile patterns. The brushwork is looser, the colors more varied, and the mood more informal, reflecting a stylistic shift in his later years.
It’s a celebration of feminine beauty, elegance, and exoticism—hallmarks of Klimt’s body of work, but presented here with a lighter, almost playful energy.
Klimt's works remain highly sought after in the art market, with many of his paintings fetching record prices at auctions, solidifying his legacy as a master of decorative symbolism and one of the most valuable artists in history.
