Gustav Klimt (Austrian 1862-1918) PORTRATSKIZZE: DAME MIT BOA signed in the plate collotype 49 by 32cm PORTRÄTSKIZZE: DAME MIT BOA – GUSTAV KLIMT Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter and a prominent member of the Vienna Art Nouveau, known as the Seccession Movement. Gustav Klimt’s Porträtskizze: Dame mit Boa translates directly to Portrait Sketch: Woman with Boa, but is also known as Woman in a Boa, Lady Wearing a Boa or simply Woman with Boa. Klimt is known for his representation of women and in Porträtskizze: Dame mit Boa the artist indicates an acknowledgement of the sitter’s femininity with delicate lines. Her hair is piled atop her head in undulating waves and the intricacy of her hairstyle described with a number of parallel pencil strokes. Klimt’s appreciation of his model can be found in her carefully constructed demure gaze, highlighted by her soft eyelashes. The artist shows great restraint in the boa itself, which is constructed from a number of quick, confident marks outlining the abundance of feathers which envelop the young lady, choosing rather to concentrate all of the detail in the sitter’s face and hair. The soft lines indicating the plush material seem to tickle the model’s face pointing to a light eroticism of the female form which is often far more pronounced in Klimt’s oeuvre. The lightest touch of pink emphasises the lips and cheeks ascribing a gentle femininity.This delicate work is a collotype from the suite Fünfundzwanzig Handzeichnungen, a limited collection of twenty-five monochrome and two-colour collotypes after hand drawings by Gustav Klimt. They were published by Gilhofer and Ransechburg in Vienna in 1919, just one year after Klimt’s death. This particular work is plate 5 from the 25 plates in the suite, from an edition of 500 prints. The print includes Klimt’s signature, signed in the lower right of the plate. The original pencil sketch is included in the Lederer Collection in Vienna, along with other original drawings from the suite. The collotype printing process is based on a French discovery patented in 1855 but was used widely by the 1870s. Collotypes were only suitable for short term runs as the plate would print only a few hundred impressions, the process itself proved slower than other printing processes but produced very finely detailed prints. During the process, sensitised gelatin was exposed to light which caused it to harden and become non-absorbent, whereas unexposed portions remained soft and receptive to water. The gelatin then became available as a printing surface. After a thin layer of light-sensitive gelatin had been coated to a glass or metal base, it was left to dry out. The surface of the gelatin then puckered into a network of extremely fine curving cracks. After exposure to light these cracks hardened, enabling them to receive the printer’s ink which was then transmitted to the paper. So it was the gelatin involved in the process that made collotypes the first natural light-sensitive tonal printing surface and allowed for a great delicacy of the final process. The subtlety in tone achieved by collotypes made it an ideal medium for the reproduction of drawings, as seen in Porträtskizze: Dame mit Boa - S.D.Portrait Sketch: Woman with Boa, accessed 8 January, 2020: https://wallector.com/en/modern-art/portrait-sketchwoman-with-boa-100355.html Bamber Gascoigne., How to Identify Prints: A Complete Guide to Manual and Mechanical Processes from Woodcut to Inkjet, Thames & Hudson, London.1986
