Aubrey Beardsley, "Perseus and the Monsters", c.1900, print from pencil drawing

Sale price¥66,000

"Perseus and the Monster" depicts the mythical hero Perseus lifting the head of Medusa.
The work was originally created as a pencil drawing and later came into the possession of Aymer Vallance, a photographer and friend of Beardsley's.

When Beardsley died at the young age of 25 in 1898, John Lane published a retrospective of his work in tribute, and this work was included in the collection.

Perseus stands on a rocky outcrop, his cloak fluttering in the wind, looking back at the snake-haired head of Medusa hanging from his hand, and a fantastical mountain landscape in the background.
The diagonal composition, dynamic lines, and tension in the expressions... A dramatic moment is sharply engraved within the soft texture that only a pencil drawing can provide.

This is an original antique print produced at the time, and is a valuable work that conveys Beardsley's little-known mythological themes.
