Klimt — Portrait of a Woman, c. 1900, Postcard

A transitional portrait from around 1900 — sitter resting her chin on her hands, dressed in pale ruffled blue, the ground darkening behind her. Klimt was between the historical painter and the Secession leader at this moment, and the painting carries both: academic figure composition, atmospheric treatment of background, no gold yet. For correspondence that calls for something between formal and intimate, or a collector's chronological shelf. From our painting art postcard collection. 10×15 cm, 350 g/m².
