Gustav Klimt

Frontal stehend, linke Hand an die Hüfte gelegt (Standing Woman with Hand on Hip)

1907

A delicate pencil drawing on gossamer-thin simile Japan paper, this 1907 work by Gustav Klimt captures a woman standing frontally with her left hand resting confidently on her hip. The spare, fluid lines reveal Klimt's masterful draftsmanship, conveying both the sensuality and psychological presence of his subject with minimal yet deliberate strokes. Created during his celebrated Golden Phase, the drawing exemplifies his deep fascination with the female form and his ability to suggest intimacy and individuality through the purest of means.
