Set Design for Scheherazade 1910

"Set Design for Scheherazade" is a set design by Léon Bakst created in 1910. It evokes the visual language of the "Arabian Nights", with its vibrant colors, shimmering fabrics and exotic imagery. Bakst was a prominent figure in the Ballets Russes, and his designs for the ballet "Scheherazade" helped to establish the company's reputation for lavish and visually arresting productions. The scene depicted here is a richly decorated interior, perhaps a palace or a tent, where exotic dancers, musicians, and other performers may have graced the stage.
