9122 Mother and Child Detail by Klimt

Three Ages of Woman

Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862-1918)

Galleria Nazional d'Arte, Rome

5" x 7"

In this tender portrait of a sleeping mother and daughter, Klimt conveys eternal contentment. Clusters of flowers in the mother's golden hair transition to a glowing background of circular motifs that enwraps the two figures. The expressive image is a detail from the painting, Three Ages of Woman, 1905, inspired by Auguste Rodin's bronze figurine, Die schone Helmschmiedin. In the original, Klimt placed an old woman on the left of his painting as a counterpart to the scene. The original is in the Galleria Nazional d'Arte, Rome.
