The Frontispiece to 'The Pierrot of the Minute' is a notable illustration by the English artist Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898), created to accompany the 1897 edition of Ernest Dowson's poetic drama "The Pierrot of the Minute: A Dramatic Phantasy in One Act." Beardsley, a leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement and a pioneer of the Art Nouveau style, was renowned for his black and white illustrations that combined elegance, eroticism, and decadence.

Beardsley's frontispiece for Dowson's work is emblematic of his distinctive linear style, characterized by its intricate patterns, stylized figures, and stark contrasts between black and white. The illustration captures the essence of the play's commedia dell'arte themes, featuring the character Pierrot, a classic figure in French pantomime, known for his melancholic and pining nature. The artwork reflects the fin-de-siècle spirit of the time, a period marked by a fascination with the exotic, the mystical, and the sensuous.

The frontispiece is not only a testament to Beardsley's artistic prowess but also to his collaboration with contemporary writers of the 1890s, contributing to the visual culture of the period's literary works. Beardsley's contribution to "The Pierrot of the Minute" is considered one of his significant works, as it encapsulates the themes of beauty and transience that pervade both his and Dowson's oeuvre. The piece remains an important example of the synergy between literature and visual art during the late Victorian era and continues to be studied for its aesthetic and cultural significance.
