Daphnis and Chloe bidding each other goodnight (Design for a decorative panel) 

This design for a decorative panel by Léon Bakst depicts Daphnis and Chloe, characters from a Greek pastoral romance, bidding each other goodnight. The scene is set in a lush landscape with a herd of goats, reflecting the idyllic setting of the story. Bakst's distinctive style, characterized by flowing lines, vibrant colors, and an emphasis on decorative patterns, is evident in this work. The painting draws inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement, evident in the organic forms and stylized figures. This design showcases Bakst's talent for capturing the essence of a narrative through evocative imagery, making it a compelling example of his artistic vision.
