About the piece

Painted in 1909, this evocative work by Gustav Klimt depicts a mother and her two children in repose. The pale, luminous treatment of the figures' skin creates a striking contrast against the heavy, dark texture of their surroundings, exemplifying the artist's masterful use of atmospheric mood and symbolic intimacy.
