Description
Two reclining female figures with golden hair rest among swirling patterns of small blue and white flowers against rich ochre, emerald, and black grounds. Klimt's ornamental approach creates a dreamlike composition where the women's pale skin and languorous poses are framed by densely patterned decorative elements that suggest water, fabric, and serpentine movement. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
