Gustav Klimt after.
From Erotic Drawings (Dialogues of the Courtesans) and 50 Handzeichnungen
This portfolio of twenty four collotypes by Gustav Klimt comprises erotic drawings based on the classical dialogues of the courtesans, produced between 1919 and 1922 during the artist's later period. The prints, each measuring approximately 220 by 250 millimeters on wove paper, showcase Klimt's distinctive linear style and sensual subject matter, though the lot contains only twenty two unique images as two compositions are duplicated. These works represent Klimt's continued exploration of the female form and intimate relationships, executed in the collotype medium which allowed for the fine reproduction of his delicate draftsmanship.
