Bildnis Henryka Cohn

Click here to jump to Klimt’s Fritza Riedler
RG58 Bildnis Henryka Cohn, between 1-27 June 1908.
Oil on canvas, 147.8 x 111.5 cms. Inscribed verso on canvas: “Richard Gerstl, IX., Nussdorferstr 35″ Inscribed verso on stretcher (obscured): “Henrik(a?) Cohn, Esterhasyg. 23″. Leopold Museum.
Painted in Cohn’s home at Esterhazygasse 23, Vienna VI shortly before Gerstl’s seminal portraits from Gmunden 1908, this may have been influenced by Klimt’s Fritza Riedler
(see below), first exhibited at Kunstschau, June 1908.
Alois described Henryka as an artist and piano teacher from Schönberg’s circle, so this may have been Gerstl’s final commission to come from this association.
Kallir 55 – exhibited at Neue Galerie from opening, 28 September 1931. Thesis
– pp. 196-199.
Gustav Klimt, Fritza Riedler (1906)
