Gustav Klimt, a titan of Symbolism and Art Nouveau, left behind a legacy of breathtaking works, and his portrait of Johanna Staude (widowed Widlicka, 1883–1967) is a poignant example of his later genius. What makes this piece particularly intriguing is its unfinished nature. While the radiant blues of the patterned dress leap from the canvas, and Johanna's bright blue eyes captivate, her mouth remains curiously undefined. This very incompleteness adds to the painting's allure, inviting the viewer to ponder its narrative.

Did you know that Johanna Staude was a personal friend of Klimt's and not merely a commissioned subject? She was a fascinating character in her own right, known for her artistic flair and extravagant style. It's said she modelled for both Klimt and Egon Schiele, and her fashionable short hairstyle and dress, designed with a "Blätter" (leaves) pattern by Martha Albers of the Vienna Arts and Crafts School, speak volumes about her avant-garde sensibilities. Klimt, a keen admirer of Wiener Werkstätte products, painstakingly reproduced this fabric pattern, setting its vibrant blue tones against a striking orange background. This dynamic interplay of colour is a hallmark of Klimt's unique artistic temperament.

And for a truly charming anecdote: when asked why he never finished the painting, Klimt supposedly quipped to Johanna, "Because you would never come back to the studio!" This playful remark adds a layer of intimacy and humour to the work, making it even more special.
