I came back from holiday in Mucha-obsessed Prague to find this. I don’t think words can quite express my happiness right now.
Thankyou.

From the V&A:
‘This is one of Beardsley’s most powerful and confident drawings. The size and obesity of Ali Baba’s body is suggested in the most simple and minimal way. He almost seems to blend in with the background, his shape defined only by his robes and richly profuse jewellery.
This design dates from near the end of Beardsley’s short life. It is his only drawing for a proposed book of Arabian Night’s Tales, The Forty Thieves. The book was left unfinished at his death from tuberculosis in 1898.’
