"Cleopatre danse juive" (1910) is a costume design by renowned Russian artist Léon Bakst. The drawing depicts a woman in a vibrant, flowing costume, with a swirling mix of gold, blue, and red hues. The elaborate details and theatrical pose are characteristic of Bakst's style, known for its contribution to the aesthetic of the Ballets Russes. This design captures the spirit of exoticism and extravagance associated with the early 20th-century artistic movement.
