About Portrait of Johanna Staude

The artwork “Portrait of Johanna Staude” by Gustav Klimt was created in the period spanning 1917 to 1918. It is a representation of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is categorized as a portrait. Measuring 70 cm by 50 cm, this painting is currently housed at the Belvedere, Vienna, Austria.

The artwork captures a woman rendered with a rich color palette and a distinctively textured appearance. Dominant in the composition is the subject’s face, which is portrayed with a poised and serene expression. Her cheeks and lips are softly flushed, and her gaze gently engages with the viewer, exuding a subtle introspection. Klimt’s distinctive style is evident in the ornamental quality of the clothing and the fluid, patterned details adorning the garment with shades of blue and purple set against a complementary orange background. The fur collar adds depth and contrast with its dark tones and texture, creating a lavish and intricate piece that is emblematic of Klimt’s figurative work within the Art Nouveau paradigm.
