Mit angezogenen Schenkeln kauernder Mädchenakt . 1903. Colored crayon drawing in blue. Strobl 1009. On packaging paper. 30.6 x 44.5 cm (12 x 17.5 in), size of sheet. [CH]. • Preliminary study for Klimt"s famous painting "Danaë" (1907/08). • With the depiction of Danaë, Klimt reference a legend from Greek mythology in which Zeus unites with the caged Danaë in form of a golden shower. • With the "Danaë", Klimt depicts the sex act in a superelevated manner and gives a highly erotic connotation to the beautiful female nude. • Thematically, the depiction must be seen in connection with Klimt"s famous works "Hoffnung I" (National Gallery of Art, Ottawa), "Hoffnung II" (Museum of Modern Art, New York) or "Der Kuss" (Belvedere, Vienna). • In the present study, Klimt particularly references the pose of Leda in Michaelangelo"s lost painting of the same name (copy from around 1529/1530 at the National Gallery, London)
