Prompt
Create an image of Aubrey Beardsley, a British illustrator and author, in his late 20s, dressed in formal attire, with a hint of his signature bold black-and-white illustration style in the background. Incorporate subtle Art Nouveau elements and a touch of Japanese woodcut influence. He should be seated, holding a pen and paper, with a faint image of one of his notable works, such as an illustration from Oscar Wilde's 'Salome', visible behind him. The overall aesthetic should reflect his affinity for erotic and decadent imagery, while maintaining a sense of elegance and sophistication. Render the image in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture, to capture the essence of this influential artist from the 1890s.
