Out Looking: Chase-ing the Klimt

William Merritt Chase, “Portrait of Miss Dora Wheeler” (1883), Cleveland Museum of Art
I saw the above painting today at the press preview of a soon-to-open show at the Metropolitan Museum. (More on that later.)
Does anyone else think this prefigures Klimt‘s 1907 “Adele Bloch-Bauer I” (below)?

And while we’re on that subject, why is there no longer any image of “Adele I” on the Neue Galerie’s website? You can see the images of the other four recently shown Klimts in the section on “Past Exhibitions,” but the $135-million “Adele,” described in the show’s press release as the Neue Galerie’s “forthcoming acquisition,” is strangely absent. Also still absent from the website is the Neue Galerie’s public disclosure of its Nazi-era provenance research, which was supposed to have been posted by Sept. 1.
