Mäda Primavesi (1903–2000), 1912–13, Oil on canvas, 59 x 43 1/2 in. (149.9 x 110.5 cm), Paintings, Gustav Klimt (Austrian, Baumgarten 1862–1918 Vienna), Mäda Primavesi’s expression and posture convey a remarkable degree of confidence for a nine-year-old girl, even one who was, by her own account, willful and a tomboy. Klimt made numerous preliminary sketches for this portrait, experimenting with different poses, outfits, and backgrounds before deciding to show Mäda standing tall in a specially-made dress amid a profusion of springlike patterns
