Standing nude girl, facing left
1910
Step away from the gold leaf and intricate patterns of Gustav Klimt's famous portraits to see his raw, unfiltered side. This sketch captures a nude figure in profile with a confident hand on her hip, rendered in loose, fluid lines that feel almost like a quick snapshot of a pose. As a giant of the Symbolist movement, Klimt produced thousands of these erotic drawings, largely for his own pleasure rather than public display. The 'Nachlass' stamp in the bottom corner reveals this piece was found in his estate after his death, offering an intimate glimpse into the private practice of a master who usually hid his sketches away.
