Description
Gustav Klimt’s Music places a dark-haired woman beside a golden lyre, with richly patterned foliage behind her. Pale faces or sculptural forms occupy the lower corners, while the central instrument gives the scene a strong, warm-colored shape.
The composition joins the act of music-making with an ornamental setting. The woman’s inclined head and hand direct attention toward the strings, while surrounding patterns create a still, decorative rhythm. Klimt balances flat design with the more softly modeled human features.
