Jugend magazine cover (Issue 47) by Julie Wolfthorn, 1897.
Julie Wolfthorn (1864-1944) was a German-Jewish female painter who created many illustrations for Jugend and was a well known and established portrait painter in Germany. Since the art schools did not accept women at that time, she travelled to Paris in the 1890′s to learn painting techniques and skills. She later became involved with the Berlin Secession and became a prominent member of it. Among her clients and friends were many female artists and important figures in society. Her life did not end well though. She later died in her 70′s at a camp established by the SS for Jewish citizens. She was said to have continued her drawing despite the horrific conditions there.

Lady in gold : the extraordinary tale of Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer / by Anne-Marie O'Connor
Contributor to the Washington Post Anne-Marie O’Connor brilliantly regales us with the galvanizing story of Gustav Klimt’s 1907 masterpiece—the breathtaking portrait of a Viennese Jewish socialite, Adele Bloch-Bauer. The celebrated painting, stolen by Nazis during World War II, subsequently became the subject of a decade-long dispute between her heirs and the Austrian government.
