Portrait of Fritza Riedler 1906

Gustav Klimt's "Portrait of Fritza Riedler" is a stunning example of the artist's signature style, known as the "Golden Phase" of the Viennese Secession. Completed in 1906, the work showcases Klimt's mastery of flatness, using geometric patterns and stylized figures, reminiscent of Art Nouveau. The background is a rich ochre, punctuated by gold and black squares, while Fritza Riedler is presented in an elegant white dress adorned with stylized floral motifs. This painting, now housed in the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, encapsulates the beauty and sophistication of turn-of-the-century Vienna.
