O Peri de 'Peri'
1911 - 1916
Léon Bakst brings theatrical magic to life in this vibrant costume design, capturing a dancer in a dynamic, mid-movement pose. The figure is draped in flowing orange scarves and wears a corset adorned with geometric patterns, while a towering headdress featuring peacock feathers crowns her head. Bakst was a master of the Art Nouveau style and famous for his exotic, colorful designs for the Ballets Russes, revolutionizing stage costume with his bold use of color and pattern. This piece captures the whimsical, orientalist fascination that defined early 20th-century stage design, likely created for the dancer Natalia Trouhanova.
