Costume design for the Opera, The Golden Cockerel, by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov 1909

This costume design by Ivan Bilibin, created in 1909 for the opera "The Golden Cockerel" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, depicts a character dressed in a colorful, elaborate costume. The character, likely a prince or noble, is adorned with a tall red hat with a plume, a blue tunic with a lion motif, a red and green patterned skirt, and red and white striped socks. Bilibin's illustrative style, characterized by bold lines and flat colors, evokes a sense of Russian folklore and traditional aesthetics. The design captures the spirit of the opera's mythical and fantastical elements.
