About the Item
Study of an old woman - Plate 25 is the last collotype from “ Gustav Klimt : Fünfundzwanzig Handzeichnungen” , a limited-edition collection of 25 monochrome and two-color collotypes after drawings by Gustav Klimt.
Published by Gilhofer and Ranschburg, Vienna, July 1919. Edition of 500 prints, numbered, with the first group numbered I-X including an original drawing by Klimt.
This is a beautiful plate representing a nude of an old woman. Signed on stone on the lower right margin. In very good conditions, including an ivory-colored cardboard passepartout (cm 59.3 x 40).
Original Title: Studie einer alter Frau
The original pencil sketch is held at the Lederer Collection , in Vienna, as the others original drawings of the portfolio.
All the works were printed posthumously, one year after Klimt’s death, by the Kunstanstalt Max Jaffé , a Viennese specialist in fine art collotypes.
The complex collotype printing process perfectly rendered Klimt’s remarkably spontaneous drawing style.
This dichromate-based photographic process was invented in 1856, before lithography. The gelatin plates required a very delicate preparation involving light exposure, washing, and drying. Collotype plates could not be re-used: the limited-edition prints from colloid ink were stable and they had no chance of fading like other photographic processes of the time. Later on, lithography replaced this technique, which has now become nearly forgotten.
The importance of this portfolio lies in the aesthetic achievement of capturing the variations of Klimt's style between 1898 and 1917. These drawings of women are suffused by a veil of sexuality, well-accepted by the Viennese society. F ünfundzwanzig Handzeichnungen confroms to the category of privately circulated erotic material of the Vienna's upper middle class men. The emotional fluidity of Klimt’s erotic drawings created and still creates an intense psychological reaction in the viewer.
Fünfundzwanzig Handzeichnungen reveals Klimt's eyes and their penetrating observation of the female world, his sight on the nubile youth women to craggy old age, as in this case. His drawings reveal a profound identification with the female form and his creative energy, while their flowing and darting lines demostrate the flexibility of his technique.

By Doel Reed
Located in Denver, CO
Nude with Winter Bouquet 11/30 is a vintage aquatint etching by American printmaker Doel Reed (1894-1985), created in 1972. This exquisite work depicts a reclining female figure, elegantly posed alongside a vase of flowers and flowing drapery, capturing the quiet intimacy of the scene. The etching is signed by Reed in the lower right margin and numbered 11 of a limited edition of 30 in the lower left margin. The print is presented in a custom frame with archival materials, with outer dimensions of 20 ½ x 26 ¼ x 1 inches and an image size of 11 ¾ x 17 ¾ inches.
This stunning piece is illustrated in Doel Reed: The Graphic Works by Harry B. Cohen and Ann L. Rogers (page 83, plate 124), showcasing Reed's mastery in the aquatint technique.
The etching is part of several esteemed collections, including the University of Wyoming, Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University. It has also been exhibited in notable shows, including the 147th National Academy of Design in New York, Indiana Printmakers in 1972, the 32nd Annual Print Show at the Philbrook Museum in 1972, and the 53rd Annual Exhibition of the Society of American Graphic Artists in New York in 1975.
About the Artist:
Doel Reed’s dedication to printmaking and his unique approach to aquatint solidified his reputation as a master of the medium. Early in his career, Reed became fascinated with Goya's aquatints, which inspired him to teach himself the technique and establish a lifelong passion for creating etched works. Known for his emotionally charged landscapes marked by dramatic tonal contrasts, Reed’s prints evoke a sense of mystery, blending modernist forms with a romantic, moody atmosphere.
Born in Indiana and initially studying architecture, Reed’s understanding of structure deeply influenced his artistic style, which he described as architectonic. He later transitioned to fine arts, studying at the Cincinnati Art Academy, but his studies were interrupted by World War I. A gas attack during the war temporarily blinded him, and the lasting effects of the attack led him to seek the dry climates of Oklahoma and New Mexico for relief.
After the war, Reed discovered Goya’s aquatints...
