Mit gesenktem Blick
1916
While Gustav Klimt is legendary for his dazzling, gold-leafed masterpieces, this delicate 1916 sketch reveals the softer, more intimate side of the Symbolist master. Titled 'Mit gesenktem Blick' (With Lowered Gaze), the drawing captures a young woman with braided hair looking down in a moment of quiet contemplation or perhaps shyness. Created just two years before his death, these rapid studies allowed Klimt to capture raw emotion with just a few flowing lines, stripping away the ornate decoration he was famous for to focus purely on the human form.
