The artwork titled “The Arabian Nights: The Queen of the Ebony Isles” was created by the artist Edmund Dulac. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement and falls within the genre of illustration.
The artwork depicts a regal, elegantly draped woman standing alongside a large black panther. She is attired in richly detailed garments, featuring deep, earthy tones and intricate golden patterns that flow gracefully around her. The woman’s serene and composed profile contrasts with the sleek, powerful demeanor of the panther, which she holds on a leash. The background is a suggestive, warm-toned expanse that subtly directs attention to the captivating figures in the foreground. This illustration exemplifies Dulac’s mastery in merging narrative and visual beauty, reflective of the enchanting themes within “The Arabian Nights.”
