Portrait of Johanna Staude[a] (1917–1918) is an unfinished painting by Gustav Klimt, depicting Johanna Staude (née Widlicka; 16 February 1883 – 2 July 1967), an Austrian divorcée who also modeled for Egon Schiele.[1] She described her occupation as language teacher, and later, as a painter, although no works of her own are known.[2][1] The Financial Times has described the Klimt painting as the culmination of his development as a portraitist, portraying "a new, post-war woman, self-aware, intelligent, modern, staring boldly out at us, sporting a fashionable short hair-cut and black feather boa".[3] The painting was acquired by the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in 1963.[4]
