The sleeping beauty wolf 1921

This 1921 costume design by Léon Bakst depicts a wolf dressed in a red and white patterned robe, a blue sash, and a black coat, which evokes a fantastical and slightly unsettling fusion of animal and human. Bakst, a renowned Russian artist, was known for his theatrical designs and is closely associated with the Ballets Russes, which brought a new level of artistic sophistication to ballet. This design reflects Bakst's signature style, blending influences from various cultures and periods, creating a unique and striking visual language. It is likely a costume design for a theatrical performance, capturing the imagination and transporting viewers to a world of magic and enchantment.
