She stands cloaked in color and gold, cradling life and looking inward. In Hope, II, Gustav Klimt transforms pregnancy into something mythic where shimmering patterns meet quiet strength. Below her, faces appear like dreams, memories, or prayers, receding into a sea of ornament. Send for births, new beginnings, or anyone holding onto light in a complicated world.
