EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sketch for the ballet La Peri, created by the talented composer Paul Dukas in 1911. The intricate pencil and gouache on paper artwork was brought to life by Leon Bakst, a renowned Russian artist known for his theatrical designs. The sketch depicts a mesmerizing scene from the ballet, inspired by an ancient Persian legend of King Iskender and the peri—a beautiful fallen angel. With its delicate lines and meticulous details, this piece captures the essence of fantasy and enchantment. Bakst's artistic genius shines through in every stroke as he skillfully portrays the fairy-like character adorned with an elaborate headdress. The graceful dancer seems to float effortlessly across the stage, her costume exuding elegance and ethereal beauty. La Peri premiered in 1912 with impressionist scoring, further enhancing its dreamlike atmosphere. This remarkable sketch serves as a testament to Dukas' creativity as well as Bakst's ability to translate music into visual art. Preserved at Moscow's Bakhrushin Theatrical Museum, this historical artifact transports us back in time to witness the birth of a timeless masterpiece. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we can't help but be captivated by its allure—transported into a world where imagination knows no bounds.
