About the Work

This previously unknown, landscape-format drawing of a reclining model, depicted from the center of her body with her arms crossed over her head, is unmistakably related in motif and style to the drawing "Lying Half-Nude, Left Repetition of the Face" (Alice Strobl, Gustav Klimt. Die Zeichnungen, vol. IV (supplement), Salzburg 1989, no. 3676). It appears to be the same model and the same sitting. Alice Strobl refers to the proximity of her no. 3676 to the central figure in the painting "The Virgin" (1913). After careful examination of the original presented to me at the Albertina, I confirm that I intend to include the present work in the supplementary volume of the catalog raisonné of Gustav Klimt's drawings published by Alice Strobl and to date it to my knowledge around 1912/13.
