Lady with a Hat is another painting by Gustav Klimt that features a woman whose identity is still unknown. Similar to the Portrait of Rose von Rosthorn-friedman , Klimt uses different shades of black, a color he rarely uses in other paintings of this scale. The painter works with female sensuality and subtly draws attention to her lips. The face and hair contrast sharply with the rest of the canvas. Due to the distinctive accessories worn by the woman in the portrait, it is possible that the author of the model was the Emilie Floege fashion salon. The fact remains that according to contemporary photographs, Klimt's models were always dressed according to the latest fashion trends.

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918). As a painter, Klimt represents the best period of Vienna – a time when the works of Sigmund Freud or Mahler were developing, and Vienna was at the very least the Central European centre of culture and education. Klimt’s work combines symbolism and Byzantine features that create the undertone of his Art Nouveau style. Klimt’s images have a special, even anxious, atmosphere that often shows the Freudian idea of ​​erotica in any human movement and action. Klimt paints two-dimensionally, with intense colour while at the same time very gently and with refined dignity. Among Klimt’s famous works are the Water Snakes - two women with stylized, interwoven bodies that evoke the surreal world of fantasy and sensuality. Another masterpiece is Danae, a work inspired by Greek mythology, depicting a girl seized by Zeus, who was turned into a golden rain (Danae later gave birth to Perseus). His paintings often aroused passions and public protests, not only for their content but also for the innovative painting methods - eg. The Girlfriends, an image of two women at a romantic meeting.
