The floral pattern on this multi-color silk scarf was created from a detail of Gustav Klimt's painting The Dancer and features the refined design and patterning that characterize his oeuvre. Admirers of Klimt's work will no doubt recognize the deep colors and subtle brushstrokes of The Dancer, Klimt's first painting exhibited in the United States. 

Art-lovers around the world return to Klimt's work again and again for its timeless appeal: the delicate, supple beauty of his figures; his romantic fascination with love, death, and the erotic; and the boundary-pushing fearlessness with which he scandalized the art world of Vienna in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It's no wonder his paintings are among the most highly valued at auction today.
