Three figures stand in a narrow column against a mottled brown and silver-flecked ground: an old woman with grey hair falling over her face, her head bowed into her hand, and beside her a young mother with flowers in her hair, eyes closed, cradling a sleeping child. Behind them run bands of gold, orange and blue pattern, and a black block crosses the top of the canvas. Klimt finished the painting in 1905 and showed it that year in Berlin at the second exhibition of the Deutscher Künstlerbund, under the title The Three Ages. It is in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Silver-flecked browns, a black band and a narrow seam of gold suit a calm bedroom, study or landing on a warm grey or deep green wall. Pair it with Friedrich's The Stages of Life, hung at 24×36 in a black frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
