"How Morgan Le Fay Gave a Shield to Sir Tristram" is an illustration by the English artist Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898), created as part of his work for the book "Le Morte d'Arthur" by Sir Thomas Malory. Beardsley was a leading figure of the Aesthetic Movement and is best known for his black and white illustrations that are characterized by their sinuous lines, erotic undertones, and grotesque themes.

This particular illustration was produced during Beardsley's tenure as an illustrator for the publishing house J.M. Dent & Sons, which commissioned him in 1893 to create images for a new edition of Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur". The work is a representation of a scene from the Arthurian legend, where Morgan Le Fay, a powerful enchantress and half-sister to King Arthur, presents a shield to the knight Sir Tristram. Beardsley's depiction is notable for its intricate detail, stylized figures, and the use of negative space, which were hallmarks of his style and contributed to the revival of interest in the Art Nouveau movement.

The illustration reflects Beardsley's fascination with medieval themes and his ability to reinterpret them through a modern lens, often infusing them with a sense of decadence and the macabre. His work on "Le Morte d'Arthur" was instrumental in shaping the visual interpretation of Arthurian legends for the contemporary audience and has since become iconic in the field of book illustration.

Beardsley's illustrations for "Le Morte d'Arthur" were among his most celebrated works and contributed significantly to his reputation as a master illustrator. "How Morgan Le Fay Gave a Shield to Sir Tristram" stands as a testament to Beardsley's unique artistic vision and his enduring influence on the art of illustration.
