Aubrey Beardsley "The Arrival of Herodias" c.1900 Lineblock

Sale price¥88,000

The scene in which Herodias appears with a dignified aura - "Herodias Enters."
Herodias, Salome's mother, symbolizes strategy and power in the story.
She is depicted in lavish attire and with a determined expression on her face.

Beardsley endowed this female figure with rich ornamentation and a stately form, yet exuding a cool, solitary air.
The intricate patterns on the dress and the composition exude a quiet pressure.
The line drawings, free of all unnecessary detail, beautifully express the loneliness and arrogance of those in power.

The silence and tension that permeates the painting quietly foreshadows the tragedy that is to come.
The beauty of the composition, reminiscent of the influence of Japonism, and the tension in the white space also speak to Beardsley's unique aesthetic sense.

This is an original antique print produced at that time.
After Beardsley's early death in 1898, a collection of his works was produced by John Lane, who published a number of works including his masterpiece, Salome.
This work is one of the prints included in the John Lane edition.
