Ex libris Gerhard Wunderlich by Franz von Bayros

Franz von Bayros, an artist famous for his scandalous erotic illustrations, channels his talent into pure decorative elegance in this bookplate for Gerhard Wunderlich. A sensual, reclining figure is draped in the magnificent, eye-spotted tail of a peacock, a classic Symbolist motif representing vanity and immortality. The intricate lines and flowing organic shapes blend classical architecture with nature, showcasing the height of Art Nouveau style.
