Elisabeth Lederer

Elisabeth Lederer

artist Austria

Elisabeth Lederer was a Jewish Viennese woman from a wealthy family, known for her connection to the artist Gustav Klimt, who painted her portrait. She managed to evade the Nazis during World War II, partly due to her ties with Klimt and her familial history. Despite their close relationship, historians today question the narrative of Klimt as her father, though she remained a notable figure in art history as a sculptor.
