The sitter is Amalie Zuckerkandl, wife of the surgeon Otto Zuckerkandl and sister-in-law of the well-known writer Berta Zuckerkandl. This unfinished portrait clearly demonstrates Gustav Klimt’s method of working. As in all of his late portraits, his starting point was the face while the body and clothes are initially only indicated using sketchy strokes. Klimt was given the commission in 1913/14, but progress was interrupted when the Zuckerkandls moved house. In 1917 he resumed work on the portrait, yet it was never finished due to Klimt’s unexpected death early the following year. Amalie Zuckerkandl was left impoverished after the couple divorced. In 1942 she was deported by the Nazis and murdered at Bełžec extermination camp in Poland.
