Koloman Moser- Die Quelle.

A serene, idealized female nude stands as the focal point, representing the source of life, purity, or inspiration—“die Quelle” (the source). She often appears as a goddess-like figure, embodying nature or a muse.

The setting is typically stylized rather than naturalistic, with a decorative, flattened design that draws from Byzantine mosaics and Japanese prints—hallmarks of the Vienna Secession style.
