"The Peacock Skirt" is an iconic illustration by the English artist Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898), created for the English edition of Oscar Wilde's play "Salome" in 1893. This work is one of several illustrations Beardsley produced for the publication, which helped to cement his reputation as a leading figure of the Aesthetic Movement and the Art Nouveau style. The illustration is characterized by its striking black and white imagery, intricate patterns, and the use of themes of sensuality and death, which are prevalent in Beardsley's work.

The image depicts the biblical character of Salome, who is often associated with the dance of the seven veils and the beheading of John the Baptist. In Beardsley's interpretation, Salome is shown in an ornate, flowing gown adorned with peacock feathers, a motif that recurs throughout the series of illustrations. The peacock, with its connotations of vanity and beauty, serves as a fitting symbol for the femme fatale archetype that Salome represents in Wilde's play.

Beardsley's "The Peacock Skirt" is notable for its synthesis of Japanese woodblock print influences and the European tradition of line drawing, resulting in a highly stylized and decorative composition. The work exemplifies Beardsley's ability to convey narrative and emotion through minimalistic yet expressive lines, and it remains a seminal piece of fin-de-siècle art.

The illustration has been widely analyzed for its symbolic content, its relationship to the themes of Wilde's play, and its impact on the visual language of the time. "The Peacock Skirt" continues to be celebrated for its aesthetic innovation and its role in the development of modernist graphic design. The piece is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its influence on the visual arts and its reflection of the decadent spirit of the late 19th century.
