This illustration by Edmund Dulac depicts a scene from *The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam*, a collection of 11th-century Persian quatrains. The work is noted for its exquisite detail and delicate use of color. The image features a reclining woman in a lavish, ornate setting with a pair of white peacocks. The scene is likely meant to capture the poetic imagery of the text, evoking themes of beauty, love, and the ephemeral nature of life. Dulac's illustrations are known for their Art Nouveau influences and masterful use of line and form, capturing a sense of both elegance and whimsy.
