"Expectation" is a renowned work by the Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, created between 1905 and 1909. This piece is part of the larger "Stoclet Frieze," a series of mosaic panels commissioned for the dining room of the Palais Stoclet in Brussels, one of the most significant examples of Art Nouveau architecture. The frieze was commissioned by the Belgian financier Adolphe Stoclet and designed by the architect Josef Hoffmann, a co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte, an association of artists and craftsmen that Klimt was also associated with.

"Expectation" is notable for its intricate use of gold leaf, a hallmark of Klimt's "Golden Phase," which is characterized by the lavish application of gold and the incorporation of Byzantine, Egyptian, and Mycenaean influences. The work depicts a stylized female figure in profile, adorned in an elaborate, geometric-patterned dress that merges seamlessly with the background. The figure's pose, with her arms raised and hands positioned near her face, conveys a sense of anticipation and tension, which is further emphasized by the swirling, organic forms that surround her.

The mosaic technique used in "Expectation" involves a combination of materials, including gold, silver, and colored glass, creating a rich, textured surface that captures and reflects light in a dynamic way. This method not only highlights Klimt's mastery of different mediums but also his ability to blend fine art with decorative art, a key aspect of the Art Nouveau movement.

Klimt's work on the Stoclet Frieze, including "Expectation," is considered a pinnacle of his career, showcasing his innovative approach to composition, ornamentation, and the symbolic use of imagery. The frieze remains in situ at the Palais Stoclet, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserving Klimt's legacy and his contribution to early 20th-century art.
