This unique set of holiday cards features a decorative Tree of Life motif from a 1909 watercolor sketch by Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862–1918). He made the sketch in preparation for the dramatic frieze he designed for the luxurious Palais Soclet in Brussels. A leading member of the Vienna Secession, a group of radical designers and artists founded in 1897, Klimt is celebrated for his highly ornamental style.
