| Reverse description | The reverse of this rectangular silver plaquette reproduces Gustav Klimt's celebrated 1907–1908 oil painting 'The Kiss', rendered in intricate relief with applied gold finishing. The composition depicts two embracing figures enveloped in richly ornamented robes decorated with geometric and floral motifs, characteristic of Klimt's Jugendstil and Byzantine-influenced decorative style. The gold iris finishing technique imparts a warm, luminous polychrome effect evoking the gold leaf of the original artwork. The entire reverse surface is occupied by the artwork reproduction, with no surrounding legend or inscription, allowing the painterly imagery to dominate the field. |
