Internal Narrative and Creative Framework
-
Inner Narrative
The painting shows Klimt's interest in detailed physiognomic study and his developing technique before transitioning to a more decorative style with symbolism and art nouveau.
The key to interpreting the work
It is worth paying attention to the realism and light modeling, as well as Klimt's preparation for later, more symbolic works.See other works by this artist
