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 durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
