L'apres midi d'un faune, a nymph 1912

"L'apres midi d'un faune, a nymph" is a 1912 costume design by Léon Bakst. Bakst's theatrical designs, characterized by bold colors and intricate patterns, significantly influenced the world of ballet in the early 20th century. This design, likely for a ballet performance, showcases Bakst's signature use of vibrant reds, greens, and whites, creating a dynamic and expressive visual experience. The nymph's elaborate garment, featuring a layered skirt and a patterned tunic, exemplifies Bakst's attention to detail and his ability to capture the movement and sensuality of the human form.
