This black and white illustration by Aubrey Beardsley is a title page ornament for 'The Yellow Book', a late-19th-century literary magazine known for its decadent aesthetic. Beardsley, a leading figure in the Art Nouveau movement, utilizes bold lines and a graphic style to depict a woman in a garden setting. The stylized, elongated figures and the flatness of the forms are characteristic of his work. The overall composition creates a sense of mystery and intrigue, reflecting the magazine's themes of eroticism and the subversive.
