Gustav Klimt used this red leather-bound sketchbook beginning in 1898 to capture his spontaneous ideas, including sketches for the works Nuda Veritas (1899), Judith I (1901), Will-o’-the-Wisp (1903), Philosophy (1900), and Jurisprudence (1903). The booklet turned up in the estate of Sonja Knips, one of Klimt’s most prominent patrons. In her portrait, dated 1898, Knips can be seen holding the sketchbook. The artist probably presented it to her either during or immediately after the portrait sessions. Historical records suggest that Klimt used many red sketchbooks like this one, but almost all were lost in a fire at Emilie Flöge’s apartment in 1945.Drawing art10205221103499https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-103499/manifest
