Nude by Gustav Klimt, Nude

Most people know Gustav Klimt for his paintings that look like they're dipped in gold, but this sketch shows his wild, spontaneous side. Here, a nude figure is captured in a moment of deep rest, drawn with quick, fluid lines that feel almost like a secret diary entry. Klimt made thousands of these private drawings, and they are often considered more intimate and raw than his famous public works. It’s a beautiful reminder that even the most formal Symbolist artists started with a simple sketch to capture the human form.
