This lot consists of a warm, splashy fine art print on paper, hand-signed "Gustav Klimt" in graphite at bottom right. A smile blooms from the face of a beautiful woman, shrouded in color and flora. Like most of Klimt's subjects, she sports a head of flaming red hair. A brilliant patchwork surrounds her, and the color drains away gradually as the viewer's eye moves further and further down the composition. This piece has been done in the romantic, Symbolist style of the great Art Nouveau painter, Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862-1918). This unframed piece measures approximately 8.5" x 12".
