What skill level is the Klimt Johanna Staude Paint by Numbers Kit suitable for?

This is an intermediate to advanced paint by numbers kit for adults. The 24-colour version gives bold graphic contrast suitable for confident beginners. The 36 and 48-colour versions are designed for experienced painters who want to capture the full complexity of the facial tones, the shifting red background, and the boldly patterned coat.

What colour depth should I choose for the Klimt Johanna Staude Kit?

The 24-colour version delivers strong contrast between the face, coat, and background. The 36-colour version adds tonal depth to the facial features and the coat's blue and purple brushwork. The 48-colour version is the ultimate level, mapping every subtle shift in the background temperature and every stroke of the expressionist coat detail exactly as Klimt painted them.

What frame options are available?

The kit comes in three frame styles: rolled canvas for framing yourself, a DIY wooden frame kit to stretch and mount at home, or a fully ready-framed option that arrives as a complete gallery-quality piece ready to hang straight from the box.

Is this an official licensed Klimt reproduction?

The Portrait of Johanna Staude (1917) by Gustav Klimt is in the public domain. Our canvas is an original interpretation of the composition adapted for paint by numbers. It is not affiliated with or licensed by any official Klimt estate or institution.

The Last Portrait

A woman meets your gaze directly, dark eyes steady, her face composed against a burning terracotta-red background. Her coat is a riot of blues, purples, and blacks in bold painted strokes, a dark feather boa framing her shoulders and throat. This is Klimt's Portrait of Johanna Staude (1917), the last portrait he ever began and left unfinished at his death in 1918. Its raw, immediate quality, less decorated than his earlier works, more intensely focused on the face, makes it one of the most powerful and intimate paintings of the Vienna Secession. As a paint by numbers for adults it is the most portrait-focused and psychologically direct work in our Famous Art collection. Part of our Paint by Numbers for Adults collection.

Masterpiece paint by numbers portrait: a single figure against a warm red background with bold patterned coat and feather boa detail
Three colour depths: 24 colours for bold graphic impact, 36 for detailed facial tones and coat pattern, 48 for the ultimate expressionist richness
Three frame options: rolled canvas, DIY wooden frame kit, or fully ready-framed and ready to hang
Portrait paint by numbers: the close-cropped composition and direct gaze make this one of the most intense and rewarding portrait subjects in the collection

Why this portrait demands your full attention

The Face Is Everything

Unlike Klimt's more decorative works, Johanna Staude is almost entirely about the face. The pale skin with its rosy cheeks, the grey-blue eyes, the dark brows and hair, all set against that burning red-orange background, create a tonal contrast that at 36 or 48 colours becomes genuinely complex to paint and genuinely extraordinary when finished. The background itself shifts from deep terracotta to lighter coral with the loose, textured brushwork that characterises Klimt's later style. For guidance on capturing facial tones confidently, our portrait painting guide covers everything you need before your first brushstroke.

Bold Pattern, Raw Brushwork

The coat is painted in Klimt's most gestural, expressionist manner: broad strokes of blue, purple, black, and white moving across the surface with an energy that his earlier gold-leaf works rarely show. The dark feather boa adds a secondary texture layer around the shoulders and throat. In the 48-colour version, these sections have the full tonal mapping of the original, and painting them after the face and background are dry delivers one of the most satisfying finishing sequences of any kit in the masterpiece paint by numbers range. For more expressive, boldly painted designs, explore our Abstract and Modern collection.

The Complete Klimt Collection

Johanna Staude sits alongside The Dancer and The Girlfriends in our Klimt series, three works that together span the full range of his style from floral decoration to raw portraiture. All three are available in the same colour depths and frame options, making them a natural set for anyone building a gallery wall of painted masterpieces. For a completely personal alternative, our custom paint by numbers service creates a numbered portrait canvas from any photograph, or our custom pet paint by numbers does the same for an animal portrait. Browse the full Famous Art collection for more masterpieces.

(Tip: Start with the red-orange background and let it dry fully before tackling the face. The background colour is warmer in the lower sections and cooler towards the top, so follow the numbered sections carefully rather than treating it as a single fill. Getting the background right first is what makes the face emerge with its full intensity. For more advanced techniques, see our 7 pro techniques guide.)
