A dazzling patchwork of brilliant gold and gold leaf re-create Gustav Klimt's iconic 1907 portrait, which was the most expensive painting ever sold when it changed hands in 2006. Delicate brushstrokes wheel and dance to create the intricate, mosaic-like effect for which Klimt has become known. A great amount of care has been paid to detail, retaining the look and feel of the original work. The juxtaposition of a western masterpiece and traditional Russian folk art makes for a distinctive work. The companion base is painted golden, with a repetition of pattern from the scene.--IT101
