Cf. The original work is from a series of the Life of Maria de Medici, now in the Louvre. (see image of Lord Benno Bordiga before the original Rubens.
<br cf. Though a "fine art" painter, Klimt was an outstanding exponent of the equality between the fine and decorative arts. Having achieved some of his early success by painting within a greater architectural framework, he accepted many of his best-known commissions that were designed to complement other elements of a complete interior, thereby creating a Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art).

Good condition.
