She's literally almost under the beholder, within 5 feet, if her light means anything. The cone could be just missing her staff because she just activated it on her turn, and the beholder hasn't targeted her yet.Technically, the Beholder chooses at the start of its turn where the Cone is directed. Maybe it plans to let her waste a spell slot or staff charge, then negate the effect once she has its full attention? Who knows? But it is a great piece of art, and there can be all kinds of reasons why the scene works. I like using my imagination to dream up stories to justify cool art.That said, the Blackstaff is only a Legendary item, not an Artifact, so it should be able to be affected by the Antimagic Cone (which works like Antimagic Field).</blockquote>
