Pallas Athena
Enhanced by the golden frame created by Klimt's brother, Georg, the goddess Athena is portrayed in front of a frieze. The red hair comes out of the helmet so as to underscore the goddess' femininity, notwithstanding her armour. Following the example of the Munich Secession, Athena is chosen as the patron numen of the Viennese Secession.
