More about this artwork

The "Portrait of a Young Woman Reclining" is a graceful illustration by the renowned Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, dating back to the years 1897-1898. This delicate pencil sketch showcases Klimt’s skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with subtle yet impactful strokes. The artwork depicts a young woman lying back in a relaxed posture, her gaze slightly turned upward, evoking a sense of introspection or daydreaming.The details in this drawing are softly rendered, drawing attention to the texture of her voluminous, wavy hair and the fine features of her face. Her eyes, filled with a reflective quality, along with the soft rendering of her lips, suggest a quiet, serene mood. Klimt's use of light and shadow subtly models her facial features, lending a gentle volume to her visage nestling against what appears to be a cushion.This portrait is an excellent example of Klimt’s focus on the human figure, characteristic of his early works before his transition into more symbolic and abstract art in later years. It reflects his mastery in capturing the natural grace and complexity of human expressions, making "Portrait of a Young Woman Reclining" a captivating study of beauty and tranquility.

Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was one of the greatest Austrian symbolist painters of the Art Nouveau era. Renowned as one of the most prominent founding members, and as a president of the Vienna Art Nouveau movement (Vienna Secession). His works were mainly paintings, murals, and sketches. Marked by his numerous erotic drawings, Klimt's primary subject were female figures, and at one point his work was even criticized as pornographic. Klimt found financial success in his "Golden Phase" with decorative techniques and the prominent use of gold leaf in his paintings.
