This unfinished portrait of Amalie Zuckerkandl illustrates Gustav Klimt’s working process of starting first with the face. The body and dress are only hinted at in broad strokes. The artist received the commission for the portrait around 1913 or 1914, but soon had to interrupt its execution when the Zuckerkandls moved to Lviv. Upon their return to Vienna in 1917, Klimt resumed work on the portrait, but it was never completed due to his untimely death. Twenty years later, Amalie was imprisoned by the Nazis because she was Jewish, and in 1942 she was murdered at the Bełžec death camp in Poland.
