Adele Bloch-Bauer, Seated in an Armchair, Facing Slightly Right

Description

In this and other related sketches, Klimt depicts Adele in a bolero jacket, which was very much in fashion at the time. The jacket does not appear in the final portrait. Instead, attention is lavished on her dcollet and diamond choker.
