This drawing is a study for the nude model that appears to the left of the clothed woman in Die Freundinen, painted in 1916-1917 for the collector Dr. Othmar Fritsch (Novotny and Dobai, no. 201). The painting later entered the collection of Eric Lederer, and was confiscated by the Nazis when he fled to Switzerland. It was sent to a storage depot at Schloss Immendorf in lower Austria during the Second World War, and was among sixteen important Klimt paintings burned by official order as the Russian army approached in May 1945.
