Woman with fan
1917-1918
Gustav Klimt painted this vibrant portrait of an elegant woman just before his death in 1918, making it one of his very final masterpieces. She poses against a dazzling, flat yellow backdrop teeming with exotic peacocks and lotus flowers, clutching a fan that perfectly echoes the intricate, mosaic-like patterns of her dress. Tragically, this stunning piece was stolen by the Nazis during World War II and remained missing for decades, only to be miraculously recovered in a suitcase in Munich in 2023!
