Heinrich Böhler came from a wealthy industrialist family and had an
interest in art, studying under Egon Schiele. Böhler also took up photography, and made a number of portraits of Gustav Klimt, Emilie Flöge, and others on the Attersee in the summer of 1909. In this example and other pictures, Böhler captures the playful intimacy shared by Klimt and Flöge.
