"The New One is the Most Beautiful of All" is an illustration created by Harry Clarke for the fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling," which is part of a collection of Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen. Harry Clarke (1889–1931) was an Irish stained-glass artist and book illustrator, renowned for his distinctive style that combined elements of Art Nouveau and the macabre. His work on Andersen's Fairy Tales, published in 1916, is particularly celebrated for its intricate detail, vivid imagination, and the way it captures the emotional essence of the stories.

Clarke's illustration for "The Ugly Duckling" is a visual representation of the story's climax, where the once-despised duckling is recognized as the most beautiful swan. This moment of transformation and revelation is a central theme in Andersen's tale, which deals with issues of identity, belonging, and the journey to self-acceptance. Clarke's artwork typically features elaborate patterns, bold contrasts, and a certain ethereal quality that brings the literary narrative to life.

While the specific illustration "The New One is the Most Beautiful of All" is one of many within Clarke's work on Andersen's Fairy Tales, it stands out for its depiction of the pivotal moment of the duckling's metamorphosis. The illustration not only enhances the reader's experience of the story but also contributes to the broader appreciation of Clarke's artistic legacy and his role in the Golden Age of Illustration.
