EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures the essence of Arbuscula, a celebrated pantomime actress and stage performer from ancient Rome during the 1st century BCE. Created by the talented Aubrey Beardsley, this illustration was originally featured in Gaston Vuillier's book "A History of Dancing" in 1898. Beardsley's intricate design showcases Arbuscula's beauty spot, her elaborate hairstyle adorned with candles on a candlestick, and her alluring decolletage. In an era when most female roles were played by men, Arbuscula defied conventions with her captivating performances that enthralled audiences. The artwork reflects Beardsley's distinctive style influenced by both Art Nouveau and Baroque movements. His attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts every aspect of Arbuscula's appearance - from her blindfolded eyes to the delicate mask she holds in one hand.

It invites us to explore not only ancient theatrical traditions but also appreciate the artistic genius behind their depiction – Aubrey Beardsley’s timeless contribution to visual storytelling.
