The silhouette of the Venus of Milo represents the enthusiasm for classical beauty as well as a longing for the culture of a past period. The statue of the goddess of beauty is placed beside several, allegorical objects (lyre, notes, the escutcheon of arts and a laurel wreath. The composition is closed and framed by stylized boughs and roses. Aladár Hazay designed several ornaments, head-lines and tail-pieces for periodicals (e.g. Grafikai Szemle, Művészet / Graphic Gazette, Arts/), and others for Mintalapok (Pattern of Ornaments). His pictures mainly consist of simple, Hungarian-style, strongly stylized ornaments.
