The portrait, from the late creative period of Gustav Klimt, the leading protagonist of fin-de-siècle Viennese modernism, was previously considered lost; its rediscovery is a worldwide sensation.
The auction house im Kinsky in Vienna is delighted to present this rediscovered painting for the first time at a press conference—a work unrivaled in rarity, artistic significance, and value that has not been available on the art market in Central Europe for decades.
