This "Cartoon for the frieze of the Villa Stoclet in Brussels: right part of the tree of life" is a preparatory sketch for a larger mosaic panel by Gustav Klimt. It was created in 1909 and is one of the studies for the famous "Tree of Life" which is part of the dining room frieze in the Villa Stoclet in Brussels, Belgium. The artwork is known for its intricate patterns and abstract shapes that are characteristic of Klimt's "Golden Phase" period. The sketch utilizes a color palette of gold, white, and green, which are symbolic of nature and growth, and depicts a stylized tree with a dynamic swirling background. The artwork is currently on display at the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria.
