Gustav Klimt (b. July 14, 1862 – d. February 6, 1918) was an Austrian painter. He was a Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of Vienna Secession movement, Klimt was influenced by Japanese art and its methods. The Portrait of Hermine Gallia was painted during the period when Klimt had showcased his work at the Secession exhibition. The woman is the daughter of Karl Wittgenstein, and is dressed in a piece Klimt had picked out on his own.
