EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning design for the Count's costume in Act III of The Sleeping Princess. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst in 1922, this watercolour and bodycolour masterpiece is adorned with gold and silver paints, adding an exquisite touch to the overall composition. The intricate details of the count's outfit are brought to life through Bakst's skilled brushwork. From the elaborate jacket to the carefully crafted hat, every element exudes opulence and grandeur. The long hair flowing down adds a sense of mystery and allure to the character. Set against a backdrop of scenic beauty, this design transports us into a world where ballet meets Russian culture. It reflects both traditional Russian attire and Western influences, blending them seamlessly into one harmonious ensemble. Bakst's artistic prowess shines through as he effortlessly captures every fold of fabric and embellishment on this garment. The use of graphite on cream paper creates depth and texture that enhances its visual appeal. Displayed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Bakst's contribution to ballets russes during the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to his ability to create visually striking designs that continue to captivate audiences even today. With its rich history and impeccable craftsmanship, this print is not only a celebration of art but also an invitation for us all to immerse ourselves in the enchanting world created by Bakst.
