Lady with Fan by Gustav Klimt tapestry wall hanging invitation of an elegant lady with a fan, also known as Frau Mit Fächer, was painted by Gustav Klimt in 1917. The lady wears a kimono and fan in the Japanese style, and figures reminiscent of oriental tapestry grace the perspectiveless background in a wall tapestry. Klimt’s work borrows heavily from the symbolist, impressionist, and art nouveau movements, and all of those influences can be seen in The Lady with a Fan. The extensive use of golds, greens, and reds in this piece and the highly stylized background give it a much sharper feel than most nouveau works, which tend toward flowing naturalism and wall art ideas.
