A group of people of all ages huddle together in colorful patterns while a skeleton figure watches from the side. Life and death face each other!
Did you know? Klimt won a gold medal for this painting at a big international art exhibition in Rome in 1911. Then he kept reworking it, and the background that was meant to be gold ended up gray!
