EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for a dancer in Suite Arabe, created by the talented artist Leon Bakst. The image depicts an elderly man holding a staff, exuding wisdom and grace. The intricate pencil and gouache on paper artwork measures 33.2 x 24cm and is part of a private collection. It features notes in the artist's hand, signed with his initials "L. B". The composition captures the essence of an aged character through its meticulous attention to detail. The elderly man stands against a white background, dressed in an elaborate outfit that reflects Middle Eastern influences. His striped attire adds depth to the overall aesthetic while emphasizing his active presence as a dancer. With yellow tones dominating the color palette, this piece evokes warmth and vibrancy. The old man's white hair contrasts beautifully against his blue cloak, drawing attention to his distinguished appearance. Bakst's expertise shines through as he skillfully portrays movement within stillness; one can almost imagine this costumed figure gracefully performing on stage. The use of patterned accessories further enhances the visual appeal of this remarkable design. Overall, this artwork exemplifies Bakst's mastery in capturing both physicality and emotion through applied art forms. It serves as a testament to his contribution to 20th-century decorative arts while offering viewers an enchanting glimpse into the world of dance and costume design.
