This stylized Christmas Tree throw pillow reflects the influence of the art of Gustav Klimt who lived between 1862 and 1918 in Vienna, Austria. Klimt was best known for his paintings of Women, and the interesting backgrounds featuring gold and other colorful shapes all around the subject and her clothing.
