This lovely framed mirror depicts Aubrey Beardsley’s 1893 artwork Peacock Skirt, reproduced as a woodblock print in 1894 for the first English edition of Oscar Wilde’s one-act play Salome. Wilde wrote to Beardsley, recognising him as a “kindred spirit” and enclosing a copy of Salome, and commissioned him to illustrate the first edition of the play, published in English in 1894. The original pen and ink drawing was bequeathed by Grenville Lindall Winthrop to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in 1943.
The peacock Skirt drawing was influenced by James McNeill Whistler’s decorations in his 1876–77 Peacock Room, designed for Frederick Leyland’s house at 49 Princes Gate but now in the Freer Gallery of Art. Beardsley's refined curving lines were also influenced by Japanese woodblock prints and anticipate the forms of the Art Nouveau aesthetic.
It comes in a stylish wooden frame.
Comes in excellent vintage condition with minor signs of patina. less
