  • Johanna Staude gazes back at us with shining blue eyes. Gustav Klimt shows the young woman against an orange-red background with a fashionable hairstyle and wearing a dress with a striking pattern. It is named after a Wiener Werkstätte fabric called „Blätter“ (Leaves) and was designed by Martha Albers, a graduate from the Vienna School of Applied Arts. Wrapped around the sitter’s throat is a feather boa that draws our attention to her face. This serene and simple composition was one of Klimt’s last female portraits. The painter was a friend of Johanna Staude and she probably modeled for him on repeated occasions. Address directories document that she was also a language teacher and artist.
