Ria Munk on her Deathbed, 1912

Gustav Klimt

Ria Munk on her deathbed (1917/-18) [a different date from originally collected image.] Klimt was asked to paint a posthumous painting of this young beauty who had killed herself after being rejected by her fiance, a writer who was far older than she was. Klimt made three paintings and had a big struggle with them. [http://kundst.tumblr.com/]
