“Mrs Winifred Emery” is a lithographic artwork created in 1894 by the artist Aubrey Beardsley. The piece, which falls under the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement, is classified as an illustration genre and is currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork features a refined and elegant depiction of a woman, presumably Mrs. Winifred Emery. She is presented in a full-length portrait, dressed in a flowing, detailed gown adorned with patterned embellishments, perhaps floral motifs, characteristic of Beardsley’s intricate style. The woman is shown in profile view, with her hair styled in an elaborate updo, capturing the essence of sophisticated fashion from the period. The composition is framed by a delicate border that enhances the linear quality of Beardsley’s illustrative technique. The monochromatic scheme highlights the artist’s skill in using line and form to convey texture and depth, emblematic of the Art Nouveau movement.
