The Fall of Icarus - Classic Mythological Illustration by Aubrey Beardsley #3454692 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast ink drawing shows a powerful angelic or divine figure bearing a falling man-likely Icarus-across the sky, his wings disintegrating mid-flight. Below, smaller birds flee and a curved scythe looms ominously, symbolizing mortality. The composition uses dense cross-hatching and dynamic motion lines to evoke tension and tragedy.
