Oil and gold on canvas: 138 x 138 cm. Confiscated by the Nazi regime in 1939 from the estate of widowed husband Ferdinand Bloch. Transferred to the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in 1941 (in accordance with Adele Bloch-Bauer’s will). In 2006 an arbitration panel judged the painting should be returned to the Bloch-Bauer estate (ic. Maria Bloch-Altmann, niece of Adele Bloch-Bauer). The painting left Austria in March 2006 and was sold at auction at Christie's New York in November 2006. Bought by cosmetics heir Ronald Lauder. Now on display at his Neue Galerie in New York City.
