Scheherazade negre argent 1910

"Scheherazade negre argent" (1910) is a costume design by the influential Russian artist Léon Bakst (1866-1924), known for his elaborate and theatrical designs. This design, likely for a ballet or theatrical production, depicts a dancer in a dynamic pose, adorned with ornate jewelry, colorful fabrics, and a headdress. The figure's silhouette and the rich details of the costume evoke a sense of exoticism and movement, typical of Bakst's work. This design reflects Bakst's contributions to the Ballets Russes, a company known for its innovative and visually stunning productions.
