Klimt — Portrait of Hermine Gallia (1904) Postcard

Hermine Gallia sat for Klimt in 1904, the year of the Hoffmann house designs and two years before Fritza Riedler — the canvas is transitional. The dress cascades in layered white tulle; the ground is cool grey, no gold yet. Now at the National Gallery, London. For collectors of the transition period between the Beethovenfries and the full Golden Phase, or for correspondence that wants quiet Viennese elegance before ornament took over. From our painting art postcard collection. 10×15 cm, 350 g/m².
