Elegance of the Epoque by Frédéric Soulacroix
An example of "beauty in method"—a simple and elegant proof of the Pythagorean theorem.

Elegance is beauty that shows unusual effectiveness and simplicity.

Elegance is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness, particularly in visual design, decorative arts, literature, science, and the aesthetics of mathematics.

Elegant things often exhibit refined grace and suggest maturity, and in the case of mathematics, a deep mastery of the subject matter.[1]
