"Salome with her mother, Herodias" is an illustration by the English artist Aubrey Vincent Beardsley, created in 1894. This work is part of a series of illustrations Beardsley produced for Oscar Wilde's play "Salome," which was originally written in French in 1891 and later translated into English. Beardsley's illustrations for "Salome" are among his most famous works and are considered prime examples of the Art Nouveau style, as well as the aesthetic and decadent movements that were prominent at the end of the 19th century.

The illustration "Salome with her mother, Herodias" depicts the biblical story of Salome, the stepdaughter of Herod Antipas, who, at her mother's behest, requests the head of John the Baptist as a reward for performing the Dance of the Seven Veils. Beardsley's interpretation is characterized by its intricate line work, sensuous figures, and darkly erotic overtones, which both complement and contrast Wilde's text. The image is emblematic of Beardsley's preoccupation with themes of sexuality, death, and the grotesque.

Beardsley's work on "Salome" was controversial at the time of its publication due to its explicit and provocative imagery. His distinctive black and white drawings, which often featured exaggerated and stylized figures, were groundbreaking in their rejection of traditional Victorian notions of art and morality. "Salome with her mother, Herodias" is no exception, showcasing Beardsley's unique ability to blend the beautiful with the macabre.

The illustration is held in high regard by art historians and critics for its innovative approach to book illustration and its significant influence on the development of graphic art. Beardsley's "Salome" series not only solidified his reputation as a leading figure in the Art Nouveau movement but also left a lasting impact on the visual language of the early 20th century.
