Portrait of Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein
The story
Margaret stands in a flowing white dress that's painted almost entirely white-on-white, against a geometric background. Klimt was commissioned to paint it for her 1905 wedding by her industrialist father. Margaret — sister to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein — never liked the portrait and reportedly hid it away.
