The "Nine Cartoons" is a series of preparatory drawings that Gustav Klimt created for the execution of a frieze in the dining room of the Stoclet House in Brussels. The Stoclet House was a luxurious private mansion designed by the architect Josef Hoffmann for the wealthy Belgian industrialist Adolphe Stoclet.

Klimt was commissioned to create a frieze for the dining room that would complement the room's Art Nouveau decor. The resulting frieze, which was executed in mosaic by Klimt's collaborator Leopold Forstner, depicts a series of figures engaged in various activities, including music, dance, and agriculture.

The "Nine Cartoons" are large-scale drawings that were used as templates for the mosaic work. They are highly detailed and intricate, featuring a range of patterns and decorative motifs that are characteristic of Klimt's unique style. The figures in the cartoons are depicted in a stylized and abstract manner, with elongated limbs and flowing robes that add to the overall sense of grace and movement.

The "Nine Cartoons" are considered an important part of Klimt's oeuvre, and are held in high regard for their artistic merit and historical significance. The Stoclet House frieze remains one of the most celebrated examples of Art Nouveau decoration, and is widely regarded as a masterpiece of early 20th-century design.
