🎨✨ Portrait of Margarethe Stonborough-Wittgenstein – Gustav Klimt (1905)

Hand-painted reproduction – By Alpha Reproduction

🌟 A serene vision of Viennese modernity

With her proud bearing, flowing gown, and gaze full of gravity, Portrait of Margarethe Stonborough-Wittgenstein is a masterpiece of refined sobriety. Gustav Klimt, here abandoning the exuberance of his golden works, captures all the dignity, intelligence, and modernity of a woman emblematic of the Viennese intellectual elite of the early 20th century.

📜 A prestigious commission at the heart of the Viennese Secession

Painted in 1905, this portrait was commissioned from Klimt on the occasion of the marriage of Margarethe Stonborough-Wittgenstein, from one of the most influential families in Vienna. Sister of the famous philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, Margarethe was herself known for her scholarship and independence. Anecdote: the stylized architectural background evokes a fusion between the classical ideal and the geometric modernity characteristic of the Vienna Secession.
