by Gustav Klimt
Gustav Klimt completed this mysterious portrait in the early 20th century, showing a gentleman in profile against a dark background. The work once hung at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston until thieves stole it during the infamous 1990 heist. Klimt's refined technique captures the subject with sensitivity and restraint.
The painting was one of thirteen works stolen from the Gardner Museum in the largest art theft in American history. Despite investigations and rewards, none of the stolen works has been recovered. The painting's current location remains unknown, making it one of the art world's most sought-after missing pieces.
