专家说明

Dr Marian Bisanz-Prakken, Albertina, Vienna, will include this work in the forthcoming supplement volume of the catalogue raisonné of drawings by Gustav Klimt.
The present work is one of a series of studies for Gustav Klimt's masterpiece painting Danaë (Novotny & Dobai, no. 151; private collection). A popular subject in the early 1900s, Danaë is a figure from Greek mythology, She was imprisoned in a bronze tower by her father, the King of Argos, where she was visited by Zeus, symbolised in the painting by the golden rain flowing between Danaë's legs.
