Première Bacchante de ‘Narcisse’ 1911

"Première Bacchante de ‘Narcisse’" is a 1911 design by Léon Bakst, a prominent Russian artist known for his innovative work in the Ballets Russes, a company that revitalized ballet in the early 20th century. This costume design, featuring a stylized female figure in flowing drapery with a bold, colorful design, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style popular in the early 1900s. Bakst's work often drew inspiration from Eastern cultures, resulting in vibrant, intricate patterns and a strong sense of movement.
