Isolde

Isolde
Isolde is an illustration by the late 19th-century English graphic artist Aubrey Beardsley. The Art Nouveau style can be seen in the use of decorative line, stylized forms, and flat space. Beardsley made a large number of illustrations for magazines and books. His use of dramatic dark and light tones is well suited to the graphic medium.
