Mezzo nudo con ginocchia piegate
Semi-Nude Woman with Bent Knees
Gustav Klimt is famous for his shimmering gold paintings, but this sketch reveals his raw, unfiltered side. The loose, scribbled lines capture a figure kneeling with bent knees, their hand resting behind their head in a pose of exhaustion or surrender. This piece bears the 'Nachlass' stamp, meaning it was part of the artist's estate discovered after his death. Klimt produced thousands of such erotic drawings in private, often while wearing a long caftan with no underwear to facilitate quick, intimate sketching sessions with his models.
