Designed a jewelry Collection for her-- Preti, Adele

This is a painting that fell in love with at first sight.

Decorated in a golden background

A woman emerges -- the verve is so beautiful.

Unspeakable melancholy with a mood that is hard to interpret.

The verve seemed to bring me to the environment at that time.

What was she thinking when she was sitting in front of the painter?

Beneath the golden hues are metaphorical symbols: oval shapes representing women.

Maybe the artist just wanted to show off the decorations.

During his travels in Venice, he was influenced by the Mosaic collage,

Also influenced by Japanese painting, which was popular in Europe at the time.

He integrated them into one of his most brilliant painting periods.

The gold painted on it was real gold, all kinds of symbols and shapes,

The ultimate presentation on the canvas, only the canvas of her, 

Makes people cannot leave the line of sight.

The necklace around her neck is so beautiful.

Inlaid with rubies and sapphires, the exquisite craftsmanship probably reflects the artistic style of Art Deco.

It stood out against her fair skin, but it also seemed to blend into the background.

The special position of the hand, which was cleverly arranged by the painter to cover up the hand defect of the hostess.

She was born into a wealthy Jewish family, lived a few prosperous and carefree lives, and died soon after.

Was it perhaps heaven's mercy on her?

Without going through the major changes that followed her death the annexation of the country and the persecution of the Jews.

Since her death, the portrait has been looted and taken from private property to the state.

In fact, it was the private property of her family.

Later, the owner who really belongs to the painting initiated the ownership of the painting abroad,

After many years of international legal battles, the painting is once again in the hands of its owner's only remaining relative.

But the painting has also left the country of its original owner country, Austria.

Across the ocean to another country -- the United States.

After reading this, would you probably know who the painter is?
