Cleopatre greek dancer 1910

"Cleopatre greek dancer" (1910) is a design by Leon Bakst, a prominent figure in the Russian Art Nouveau movement. This elegant depiction of a woman in flowing, patterned robes reflects Bakst's fascination with ancient cultures, and his work contributed significantly to the resurgence of interest in historical dress and decorative arts. The intricate details, such as the red and white circular pattern on the gown, create a sense of movement and vibrancy. The subtle use of color, especially the green and red tones, evokes a sense of ancient Greek artistry, capturing the spirit of a bygone era.
