A beautiful, evocative illustration of a woman reading by the 19th-century artist Aubrey Beardsley.
This is a stunning vintage art nouveau mirror featuring a design by Aubrey Beardsley for the front wrapper of Leonard Smithers’ Catalogue of Rare Books, No. 6 (1896).
The piece showcases a young lady dressed in a ruffled gown and a low-cut jacket, wearing a flowered hat and seated on an elegant striped couch while reading a small book. A cockatoo on an ornate perch near an ornate column watches her. This wall art comes in vivid colours with a hint of luscious red in an art nouveau design, set in a light to a mid-coloured sleek wooden frame. It’s in excellent vintage condition with minimal signs of authentic patina, making it a beautiful addition to any space.

Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) was a notable English author and illustrator. He drew with black ink, taking inspiration from Japanese woodcuts, and produced artwork featuring the grotesque, decadent, and erotic. He was a prominent aesthetic movement member, including Oscar Wilde and James McNeill Whistler. Despite his untimely death from tuberculosis, Beardsley contributed significantly to developing Art Nouveau and poster styles. He remains an essential figure of the Modern Style movement.
