Description Satire on art of Aubrey Beardsley
Details

How It Is Done, an Art-Recipe. A satirical drawing published in Punch in 1894 on the art of Aubrey Beardsley, a controversial artist seen as a decadent in the 1890s. A Beardsley-esque woman with a parasol and a gown emblazoned with a skull startles a top-hatted man and a black cat. The artist has made fun of several of Beardsley's signature shapes and styles and has included items associated with the aesthetic movement such as a peacock feather.
