EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the play "Oedipus at Colonnus- Antigone" created by the talented artist Leon Bakst between 1899 and 1909. The intricate pencil, pen, and black ink drawing on paper bring to life the mythical world of ancient Greece. In this close-up portrait-style image, we see a female figure dressed in an exquisitely detailed outfit. Her brown hair cascades down her shoulders as she looks away with an air of aversion. The artist's decorative technique is evident in every frilled detail of her costume, emphasizing the solemnity and grandeur of the character. The actress stands tall with a hand gesture that conveys both strength and vulnerability. She embodies the essence of Oedipus' daughter, Antigone, bringing forth her complex temperament through posture alone. The full-length pose allows us to appreciate every element of this meticulously crafted garment. Mounted on dark paper, this artwork captures the essence of early 20th-century theatrical fashion while paying homage to its mythological roots. Bakst's skillful use of watercolor adds depth and color to his pencil drawing, enhancing each delicate stroke. This print transports us back in time to witness not only Bakst's artistic genius but also his deep understanding of character portrayal through clothing. It serves as a testament to his contribution as both an artist and designer within Russian theater history.
