Two Female Nudes Standing
1900
Before he became the king of gold leaf and ornate patterns, Gustav Klimt was a master of the humble pencil. This sketch from around 1900 captures two female figures with loose, expressive lines that feel almost alive on the page. Unlike his famous, highly polished portraits, this drawing offers a raw, intimate glimpse into his studio practice, showing how he studied the human form with quick, confident strokes. It's a beautiful reminder that even the most decorative artists start with the basics of anatomy and movement.
