The "Peacock Skirt" is an illustration by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley, created for Oscar Wilde's play "Salome" in 1893, not for "Le Morte d'Arthur." Beardsley was a prominent English illustrator and author, known for his black ink drawings that emphasized the grotesque, the decadent, and the erotic. The "Peacock Skirt" is one of his most famous works and is a prime example of the Art Nouveau style, which was popular at the time.

The illustration depicts the biblical character of Salome, with a large, stylized peacock motif skirt that dominates the composition. The peacock, with its connotations of pride and vanity, is a fitting symbol for Salome, who in Wilde's play is portrayed as a femme fatale. Beardsley's use of strong lines and the contrast between black and white enhances the dramatic effect of the image.

Beardsley's illustrations for "Salome" were controversial at the time of their publication due to their erotic content and their departure from traditional Victorian sensibilities. The "Peacock Skirt" and the other illustrations for "Salome" contributed to Beardsley's reputation as a leading figure of the Aesthetic Movement and the Decadent Movement in Britain.

While the "Peacock Skirt" is not directly related to "Le Morte d'Arthur," Beardsley did produce a series of illustrations for a 1893 edition of Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur," which are also highly regarded. These works are characterized by their intricate detail and stylized figures, reflecting Beardsley's interest in the medieval text and the legend of King Arthur. However, the "Peacock Skirt" remains distinct in its association with Wilde's "Salome" and its unique place in Beardsley's oeuvre.
