Isolde 1895

"Isolde," created in 1895 by Aubrey Beardsley, exemplifies the artist's signature style of Art Nouveau. The artwork features a woman in a flowing white gown adorned with intricate details and ruffles, her pose suggestive and mysterious. The woman's delicate features, emphasized by her large hat and flowing hair, are set against a vibrant orange background, creating a striking contrast. Beardsley's work often depicted women in heightened states of emotion, and "Isolde" embodies this, capturing a moment of longing or contemplation.
