Self-portait 

This striking self-portrait by Aubrey Beardsley, a prominent figure in the Art Nouveau movement, depicts the artist in a somber pose. The use of black and white linework, characteristic of Beardsley's style, creates a sense of melancholy and introspection. The stark contrast and exaggerated features contribute to the artwork's dramatic effect, reflecting the artist's own anxieties and the aesthetic sensibilities of his time.
