Photo: Aubrey Beardsley (profile, photographed by Frederick Evans) circa 1900, from the John Lane Prints collection
This work is a photograph capturing the profile of Aubrey Beardsley, a genius photographer from the late 19th century.
The photographer was Frederick H. Evans, one of the leading British photographers, who was a friend of Beardsley's and photographed him when he was just 21 years old.
A sharp nose, a delicate mouth, and a quiet gaze gazing into the distance.
The profile of this young man, who devoted his life to art despite battling illness, is imprinted with an inner tension and a cold determination.
The composition is extremely simple, and the white space around the subject only accentuates his presence.
This photograph was included in a collection of art produced around 1900 by John Lane and Company, the publishers of Beardsley's masterpiece, Salome, as a memorial to Beardsley, who died in 1898.
This is an original antique photographic print from that time.
A facsimile of Beardsley's signature is printed at the bottom, completing the memorial composition.
