Lady With A Fan (1917) Painting

Up for sale is an exceptional piece of art by Gustav Klimt. This hand-touched painting measures 22” x 22” in a solid and beautiful gold frame. This uncommissioned piece depicting an unidentified woman was on an easel in Klimt’s studio when he died in 1918. Like many of Klimt’s late works, it incorporates strong Asian influences including many Chinese motifs. The Chinese motifs in the background include a large flying phoenix, a symbol of immortality, rebirth, and good fortune and bright pink lotus blossoms, which are associated with love and immutable beauty. A long-legged crane and a golden pheasant are also present. The flatness of the background patterns evokes Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, while the colors imitate the chrome yellow, cobalt blue, and red ochre of enameled Chinese porcelain. This painting would be a great addition to your art collection. Local pickup only due to essence of the painting. Can meet up in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
