Garden Path With Hens The artwork, Garden Path With Hens, gently intertwines an impressionist and modern technique to present a bright array of colours accompanied by a linear form. A fire destroyed the beautiful painting in 1945, by German Armed Forced who had seized an array of Klimt's work. The painting is part of an array the artist completed during the summer of 1916, as he spent his summer at his traditional spot over Lake Attersee.
