This is a costume design for "Scheherazade," a ballet by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. It was created by the influential Russian artist Leon Bakst (1866-1924), known for his vibrant, theatrical designs. Bakst's design evokes the exotic, opulent world of the "Arabian Nights" tales, with its elaborate, flowing gown, ornate floral motifs, and vibrant color palette. His theatrical designs, often inspired by the aesthetics of the Ballets Russes, were instrumental in shaping the visual identity of the early 20th-century ballet.
