"Study for the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer Seated, From the Front, Her Right Hand Supporting Her Chin" is a preliminary work by the renowned Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt (1862–1918). This study is part of the preparatory process for one of Klimt's most famous paintings, "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I," also known as "The Lady in Gold," completed in 1907. The study captures the essence of Adele Bloch-Bauer, a prominent society figure and the wife of Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, a wealthy industrialist who commissioned the portrait.

Klimt's study is an exploration of form, composition, and expression, which would eventually culminate in the final portrait that is celebrated for its opulent use of gold leaf and intricate patterns, characteristic of Klimt's "Golden Phase." In this preliminary work, Klimt focuses on the pose and expression of Adele, emphasizing her contemplative gaze and the elegant positioning of her hand supporting her chin. The study likely served as a means for Klimt to experiment with the posture and to refine the details of her likeness before embarking on the larger, more ornate canvas.

The study is executed in a more subdued palette and with less decorative detail than the final portrait, allowing Klimt to concentrate on the subtleties of Adele's features and the overall composition. It provides insight into Klimt's artistic process and his meticulous approach to portraiture, where each element is carefully considered before being integrated into the final, elaborate work.

As a piece of art historical significance, the study not only offers a window into Klimt's methodology but also contributes to the understanding of the relationship between artist and subject. Adele Bloch-Bauer was a muse and a patron to Klimt, and her portraits are among the most celebrated and discussed works in his oeuvre. The study and the subsequent portrait are emblematic of the Viennese Art Nouveau movement and reflect the cultural and artistic vibrancy of turn-of-the-century Vienna.

The "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" and its preparatory works, including this study, have been the subject of extensive scholarship and have gained additional public interest due to their storied history, including their confiscation by the Nazis during World War II and the subsequent restitution to Adele Bloch-Bauer's heirs. The final portrait now resides in the Neue Galerie New York, while the location and exhibition history of the study itself may vary, as it is less well-known than the iconic gold-flecked portrait.
