Nymph Costume Design for the ballet in one act Narcisse Diaghilev (Subtitle) 1911

This costume design by Léon Bakst is for a nymph in the ballet *Narcisse*, which was created for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1911. Bakst, a leading figure in the Art Nouveau movement, is renowned for his opulent and evocative designs. His use of bold colors and swirling lines, as seen in this design, create a sense of fantasy and sensuality, highlighting the ephemeral nature of the nymph. The design, with its flowing fabric and intricate details, is characteristic of Bakst's work and exemplifies the innovative aesthetic of early 20th-century ballet.
