Entry 7 - Choosing a New Portrait

Gustav Klimt, Pallas Athene, 1898, Oil on Canvas & Inlay, Erich Lessing Culture and Fine Arts Archive


The strong stance of the woman in this portrait is what drew me to it. Her uplifted head and piercing gaze convey a sense of power and confidence. Also it's got gold leaf and who doesn't love gold leaf.
