A painting by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, that was believed lost for 100 years, has been found in Vienna. A Portrait of Fraulein Lieser once belonged to a Jewish family in Austria and was last seen in public in 1925. Its fate after that is unclear but the family of the current owners have had the painting since the 1960s.
I’ve always been inspired by Klimt’s paintings, and this “new one” inspired me to imitate his style. Of course this is a portrait of Fraulein Susan, not Fraulein Lieser.
