A symphony of rose, violet, and soft green, this 1912 portrait by Gustav Klimt captures nine-year-old Mäda Primavesi standing with striking poise in a custom-made dress. Surrounded by floral patterns and bathed in gentle pastels, she exudes both youthful energy and elegance. The richly textured background reflects the refined taste of her parents, Otto and Eugenia Primavesi, patrons of Viennese modernism. Seized by the Nazis in 1938, it was returned to Jenny Pulitzer Steiner in 1951.

"If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads - Anatole France"
I love walking around, trying to find the beauty hidden in the most common places. From the most majestic monument to the tiniest insect, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder
