Lady with a Fan (German: Dame mit Fächer) was the final portrait created by Gustav Klimt. Painted in 1917, the uncommissioned piece depicting an unidentified woman was on an easel in his studio when he died in 1918. Like many of Klimt's late works, it incorporates strong Asian influences including many Chinese motifs. In June 2023, it sold at auction with Sotheby's in London for £85.3 million ($108.4 million, €99.2 million). It was bought by art dealer Patti Wong on behalf of a Hong Kong collector.
The square painting depicts a woman with chestnut curls against a yellow backdrop with Oriental motifs. As she gazes into the distance to the left, her patterned silk robe is slipping off her shoulder and she holds a fan concealing her bosom. The Chinese motifs in the background include a large flying phoenix, a symbol of immortality, rebirth, and good fortune, and bright pink lotus blossoms, which are associated with love and immutable beauty. A long-legged crane and a golden pheasant are also present. The flatness of the background patterns evokes Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, while the colours imitate the chrome yellow, cobalt blue, and red ochre of enameled Chinese porcelain.
