abstract:Adele Bloch-Bauer II is a 1912 painting by Gustav Klimt. Adele Bloch-Bauer was the wife of Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer,Born Ferdinand Bloch, the son of David Bloch (also known as Abraham Bloch), a banker and sugar factory owner, and his wife Marie, née Straschnow.
Maybe the affair, iftherewas one, was overbythen; it certainly must have been by 1912 when Klimt painted "AdeleBloch-BauerII" which packs none of the first portrait's wallop.
