"Water Snakes I" is a painting by the Austrian Symbolist artist Gustav Klimt. It was painted in 1904 and is one of a pair of paintings with "Water Snakes II". The paintings were commissioned by the Austrian government for the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna, but were considered too scandalous and rejected.

The painting depicts two women entwined with each other, surrounded by water snakes. The women are shown in a sensual and erotic manner, with their bodies entwined and their faces close together. The water snakes are depicted in a very stylized and decorative way, with swirling patterns and bright colors.

Klimt was known for his use of gold leaf and decorative elements in his paintings, and "Water Snakes I" is no exception. The background of the painting is covered in gold leaf, and the women's clothing is adorned with intricate patterns and designs.

The painting has been interpreted in many different ways, with some seeing it as a celebration of female sexuality and others seeing it as a critique of the male gaze. Klimt himself was known for his relationships with women and his progressive views on sexuality and gender, which are reflected in his art.
