EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing costume design for the ballet Cleopatra, created by A. Arensky in 1909. The artwork, rendered with watercolor and gouache on paper by the talented Leon Bakst, measures 28x21.5 cm and is part of a private collection. The ballet Cleopatra was famously danced by Ida Rubinstein, an acclaimed actress and dancer from Russia who brought this sensual character to life on stage. The image exudes an air of eroticism and sensuality through its revealing drapery and alluring Egyptian-inspired attire. Bakst's exquisite design perfectly captures the essence of ancient Egypt while adding a touch of risqué allure that was characteristic of his work for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. This particular costume design has become iconic due to its association with Rubinstein's performance as Cleopatra. The photograph itself beautifully captures the intricate details of the costume, showcasing every delicate fold and embellishment. It serves as a testament to Bakst's artistic genius and his ability to create visually stunning pieces that transcend time. This extraordinary piece not only celebrates the artistry behind ballet but also pays homage to Ida Rubinstein's legacy as one of history's most famous ballerinas. It is a true treasure from Russian cultural history that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty.
