The Kiss by Friedrich Wilhelm Kleukens (German graphic artist, architect, typographer and product designer, 1878-1956)

"This beautiful mosaic by Friedrich Wilhelm Kleukens can be found in the entrance hall of the so-called Hochzeitsturm (wedding tower) at the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, Germany.

This is the best photo I have managed after nearly 3 years of repeatedly trying to get good results - unfortunately it is impossible to photograph the entire scene because there is a ticket kiosk in the way (that's how they sell their post cards). So I had to cut the feet off. More details about the Hochzeitsturm (German only) here."
