The artwork, titled “Caricature of a figure in a sunflower dress,” is created by the artist Aubrey Beardsley using the medium of lithography. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified under the genre of caricature. The artwork is currently held in a private collection.
The caricature showcases a highly stylized figure adorned in an outfit embellished with sunflower patterns. The figure is depicted in profile, with exaggerated and whimsical features, characteristic of Beardsley’s distinctive style. The dress, accentuated with large sunflowers, stands out against the simplicity of the silhouette, drawing attention to the playful and imaginative nature of the composition. The bold use of black and white further emphasizes the contrasts and details inherent in the design.
