This black and white lithograph, titled "Isolde" is an exquisite illustration created by the renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley in 1895. The print showcases Isolde, a tragic figure from Arthurian legend, with her delicate features beautifully captured in intricate detail. Beardsley's distinct art nouveau style is evident in this piece, as he skillfully combines flowing lines and ornate patterns to create a sense of ethereal beauty.

Its aesthetic allure combined with its powerful narrative makes it an exceptional addition for any fine art enthusiast or collector seeking pieces that evoke contemplation and
