Mada Primavesi 1912

"Mada Primavesi" is a portrait by Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, completed in 1912. The painting depicts a young woman, Mada Primavesi, standing against a vibrant purple background. Klimt's signature use of gold leaf is absent in this work, and the subject's attire, including a white dress adorned with flowers, suggests a focus on the figure and its decorative elements. This painting exemplifies Klimt's exploration of female beauty and the decorative arts, characteristic of his later works.
