By 1895 his style can already be considered to be formed, it had a solid wavy line pattern, . separates patches of black and white, half-tones and texture of objects passed with crosshatching and engraving dotted,
. This mannered, refined style, perfectly matching the literary predilections Beardsley, made him a leading figure in art nouveau style. The style of the artist's individual and easily recognizable. It amalgam of numerous different influences: from the pre-Raphaelites, William Morris and the 'Arts and Crafts Movement' to the ancient Greek painted vases, and Japanese prints.
