Adele Bloch-Bauer, Seated in an Armchair, Facing Left

Description

In this sketch, Klimt has focused attention on Adeles billowing gown and added some yellow chalk highlights. The shoulder straps of her gown are already in evidence in this early drawing; they would be more ornately decorated in the finished work.
