Vrouw op haar rug liggend, gedeeltelijk gekleed by Gustav Klimt, 1904

Before he became the king of gold leaf, Gustav Klimt was a master of the humble pencil, capturing the human form with breathtaking sensitivity. This delicate 1904 sketch shows a woman reclining in a state of relaxed abandon, her body draped in swirling fabric that seems to dance around her curves. It’s a far cry from his famous, glittering portraits like 'The Kiss', revealing the intimate, raw side of his creative process where a few fluid lines convey more emotion than a thousand painted details.
