What the painting shows

Farmhouse in Buchberg by Klimt depicts a rustic wooden building framed by orchard trees and a blooming meadow. Two large tree trunks anchor the foreground on the left and right, their leafy canopies stretching across the upper half of the canvas with touches of yellow fruit and pale dabs of leaves.

Behind the trees sits a pale blue-grey wooden farmhouse with small shuttered windows, a simple bench, and a paneled door. Below the building, a dense field of wild grass fills the foreground, dotted with colorful pink, white, blue, and yellow flowers. Klimt applied his paint in dense, mosaic-like dabs, creating a textured surface that balances the geometry of the timber walls with the organic scatter of the garden.

The story behind it

Klimt painted this square oil on canvas in 1911, creating one of his mature rural landscapes. The work is also known by alternative titles, including Upper Austrian Farmhouse and Oberösterreichisches Bauernhaus.

Choosing a print

Prints are printed and shipped by ArtsyWall in three formats: Premium Canvas, Framed Canvas and Archival Paper.

• Premium Canvas gives you a gallery-wrapped presentation without an outer border. The textured weave highlights the dense brushwork across the meadow and tree leaves.
• Framed Canvas encases the stretched canvas inside a floating wood frame. Choose oak or walnut to complement the rustic farmhouse timbers, or gold to bring warmth to the cool blue wall tones.
• Archival Paper offers a smooth, glare-free fine art finish. It works well if you want crisp clarity across the small window shutters and tiny floral dots.
