This image features a black and white illustration of what appears to be an angelic figure. The figure is depicted with long flowing wings that extend upwards and outwards from the shoulders, and the angel is portrayed in a standing position with hands pressed together in a gesture of prayer or devotion. The angel has a peaceful or reverent expression and is adorned with a headpiece that might be a floral wreath or a decorative halo. The angel's attire cascades down in straight, vertical lines creating a pleated effect, which adds to the sense of length and fluidity in the figure's appearance. The background is plain, which allows the figure to stand out prominently. At the bottom of the image, there is handwritten text that reads: "The original drawing by Aubrey Beardsley for design on pp.161 of 'Le Morte d'Arthur'." The artwork appears to be a draft or a final ink drawing, lacking any shading or color which suggests it may have been intended for reproduction or as preparatory work for a more detailed piece. Aubrey Beardsley was known for his black ink illustrations, and this image is stylistically consistent with his recognizable Art Nouveau line work and decorative style.
