This is absolutely stunning, Mia! It has the feel of an Aubrey Beardsley work, yet you've also made it very much your own with your inimitable touches. The linework and the detail are simply stunning.

Many, many years ago, I visited an exhibition of Aubrey Beardsley's drawings of feminine figures. Coming home, I was inspired by those elegant ladies and I tried it, not copying one of his but drawing in his style. This is the result: a pen drawing I made long ago. Now that he is mentioned on the Forum, I thought it was the right moment to look it up and post it. All comments are as usual very welcome. Thanks for having a look :) Mia
