The artist hasn’t listed its size yet, so pinch to scale it once it’s on your wall.
A richly ornamented couple bends into an intimate embrace, their bodies partly revealed beneath sumptuous patterned robes. Gold ground and mosaic-like geometry surround the figures, while the woman’s floral garment and the meadow of tiny blossoms anchor the scene in a dreamlike natural setting. Spirals, squares, circles, and jewel-like accents flatten the space into a radiant decorative field characteristic of fin-de-siècle Vienna.
