EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary Vaslav Nijinsky in his mesmerizing costume for Scheherazade, a ballet that took the world by storm in 1910. The image, taken by an anonymous French photographer of the 20th century, showcases Nijinsky's unparalleled talent as a Russian ballet dancer. In this striking portrait, Nijinsky embodies the essence of an orientalist archer with his intense gaze and poised stance. His character portrayal is nothing short of extraordinary, as he flawlessly brings to life the role assigned to him by choreographer Michel Fokine. The intricate details of his costume designed by Leon Baskt are beautifully captured in this print. Nijinsky's full-length pose exudes grace and strength simultaneously, showcasing his exceptional skill as a performer. With bow and arrow in hand, he commands attention on stage with every movement. This photograph serves as a testament to Nijinsky's ability to captivate audiences through dance. Preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most iconic performances. It immortalizes Vaslav Nijinsky not only as an influential figure in dance but also as an artist who pushed boundaries and redefined what it meant to be a male dancer during his time.
