Allegory of Summer

Koloman Moser

National Gallery of Art

This composition features central geometric rectangles with curved and flowing lines. A square at the center swirls dynamically, surrounded by a curled form resembling movement. Two elongated figures stand on either side, with limbs stretching upwards. Below, a rectangular panel shows a reclining figure in a serene posture. The image blends abstract shapes with human forms and gestures.
