Gustav Klimt — Portrait of a Lady, c. 1890s — Art Postcard

A pre-Secession commissioned portrait — young woman in black velvet, pearls at her throat, half-turned against a patterned tapestry ground. Akademisch, careful, before gold took over Klimt’s palette. This is the Klimt that historians call transitional: the Vienna historical painter still working within convention, not yet leading a movement. For collectors tracing the full arc of Klimt’s career, or for correspondence that calls for quiet elegance. From our painting art postcard collection. 10×15 cm, 350 g/m².
