Lady with a Fan (Klimt)

Lady with a Fan (German: Dame mit Fächer) was the final portrait created by Gustav Klimt. Painted in 1917, the uncommissioned piece depicting an unidentified woman was on an easel in his studio when he died in 1918. Like many of Klimt's late works, it incorporates strong Asian influences including many Chinese motifs.
