Strobl 2589 Provenance Lords Gallery, London; Rex Evans Gallery, Los Angeles (with a label to the frame's paper backing); Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, Auction 3376, 31 May 1972, nr. 19 illus.; private collection, Rhineland According to Strobl, the cuffs of the robe are not similar to those in the discarded sketches for the portrait of Friederike Maria Beer-Monti (cf. Strobl 2534 and 2535). Nevertheless, she attributes this study to the preliminary works which Gustav Klimt made for the portrait of Ms. Lieser (cf. Novotny-Dobai no. 205).
