"Girl with Long Hair, with a sketch for 'Nude Veritas'" is a preparatory drawing by Austrian symbolist artist Gustav Klimt, created in 1899. The drawing, executed in pencil and chalk on paper, depicts a woman's profile with long, flowing hair, reminiscent of the artist's later iconic "Golden Phase" works. This study is likely a preliminary sketch for Klimt's unfinished painting "Nude Veritas," revealing his evolving artistic process and exploration of the female figure.
