Mäda Primavesi's expression and posture lend a remarkable degree of self-confidence to a nine-year-old girl, even one who he said was willful and a wildling. Klimt made numerous preliminary sketches for this portrait, experimenting with different poses, outfits and backgrounds before deciding on Mäda in a specially made dress amidst a plethora of spring-like patterns. The image attests to the refined taste of her parents, banker and industrialist Otto Primavesi and his wife Eugenia, who were ardent advocates of progressive Viennese art and design. Klimt soon painted Eugenia's portrait.
Gustav Klimt (Baumgarten, now part of Vienna), 14 July 1862 - Vienna, Austria 6 February 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter. He is considered the most prominent member of the Vienna Secession, of which he was also president for some time. Characteristic of his later works, with which he became most famous, is the decorative ornamentalism (in which he often worked with gold leaf) and the suggestive erotic symbolism. He became particularly famous for his portraits of women and allegorical works. Klimt's art came into being during an artistic golden age in belle époque Vienna and is often associated with the Jugendstil and Art Nouveau movements.
