Portrait of Joseph Pembauer, 1890 by Gustav Klimt #317396545
Description
Klimt's most extraordinary frame surrounds this near-photographic portrait of the pianist Joseph Pembauer. Its wide, flat surface is decorated with various and apparently unrelated, motifs. At top right stands Apollo, the Greek god of music, playing a lyre - a motif echoed in the background of the actual portrait, in a clear reference to Pembauer's musical career.
