La peri Natasha Trouhanova as the Peri 1911

"La peri Natasha Trouhanova as the Peri" is a costume design by Léon Bakst, created in 1911 for the ballet "The Legend of the Peri". The design features Natasha Trouhanova, a famous ballerina of the time, in a fantastical and elaborate costume. Bakst's signature style, characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and opulent materials, is clearly evident in this design. The costume is both sensual and theatrical, perfectly capturing the mystical and exotic nature of the Peri, a mythical creature in Persian mythology. This design exemplifies Bakst's contributions to the development of the Art Nouveau movement and its influence on costume design for the stage.
