Hamlet 

"Hamlet" is a black and white illustration by John Austen, a British artist known for his work in the Art Nouveau style. The image depicts a woman in a flowing gown standing in a forest, her expression melancholic. The stark contrast between the dark background and the white lines creates a sense of drama and mystery, characteristic of Austen's work. The intricate details of the woman's clothing and the foliage suggest a romantic and slightly macabre atmosphere, echoing the themes of Shakespeare's famous play. This illustration exemplifies the beauty and intrigue often associated with the Art Nouveau movement, which emphasized organic forms and natural motifs in its designs.
