Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer by Klimt European Tapestry
Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer (Klimt) is a Belgian made jacquard woven wall tapestry. The original artwork of Gustav Klimt's Portrait of Adele shows a prominent member of Vienna's wealthy industrial elite and was commissioned to show off her expensive charms. Women like Adele Bloch-Bauer flocked to Klimt's elegant studio, which was outfitted with Josef Hoffman's Wiener Werkstatte furnishings, and paid a high price for the master's attentions. Painted in 1907.
