Gustav Klimt - Seated Young Girl (1894)

 In his early work, Klimt's ambition was to achieve the highest level of realism, as exemplified in the decorative style of the Vienna Burgtheater and the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and finding expression in his portraits. his content at that time. In this extraordinary portrait of an elegantly dressed girl, Klimt pushed realism so much that the picture attained the quality of a photograph. The choice of an extremely small format reinforces this point. However, the optical effect is achieved only by painting techniques. With small details that are difficult for the naked eye to perceive, he captures the girl's vivid facial expressions and draws attention to the sensuality of her splendid and radiant silk dress. In this work, Klimt still honors the profession of miniature painting that he would soon abandon. (Leopold Museum, Vienna - Oil on wood, 14 x 9.6 cm)
