#in a man’s lapel a la Oscar Wilde style?

[the-cloudy-dreamer]

sandman fandom i need your help with something! so quick back story I bought the individual issues of the whole brief lives arc! the thing is this are from an original 1995 run and from an editorial in my country that no longer exists ——>

i realized that in the back of the final issue there’s a collection of illustrations by various sandman artists which is pretty cool! BUT here’s the rub who is this guy???

caption for this is “ aesthetic gentleman” artist unknow mixed media 1889 which leads me to believe that —- this is Hob Gadling???? I’m pretty sure too that this is an illustration by Michael Zulli who did the art for A Men of Good Fortune??? And in so happens that this particular artists loves adding a lot of symbolism for his work and it’s responsible for this two infamous pieces THAT ALSO have flowers/ roses symbolism in them??

Am I crazy? What do you guys think? Does anybody can confirm if this is Hob? I’ve asked other people if their copies of Brief Lives have this illustration but nobody seems to know anything about it!
