Two figures entwined in gold, pattern and flowing hair

Two pale figures embrace in profile, long red-gold hair twining between them like water plants. They lie against a dense field of textile-like ornament — ovals, checks and spirals in cream, black and gold — with small blue dots scattered through the gold ground and a fish glimpsed at the lower edge. The composition is tall and narrow, its surface built from patterned bands of black, cream and gold pigment on parchment.

Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was the leading figure of the Vienna Secession, which he co-founded in 1897. His golden period portraits and allegories — The Kiss, the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the Beethoven Frieze — combine mosaic-like ornament and gold leaf with an unflinching treatment of the body, and his square landscapes of the Attersee are among the most serene paintings of the era. His works are held by the Belvedere in Vienna, the Neue Galerie in New York and the Leopold Museum.
