EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a stunning costume design for The Queens Guard from the ballet Sleeping Beauty, created in 1921 by the renowned artist Leon Bakst. The image is a colour lithograph that beautifully captures the intricate details of this majestic ensemble. The costume features a soldier dressed in an elegant black uniform adorned with regal embellishments. A plumed headdress adds height and grandeur to his appearance, while a flowing dress completes the ensemble. Holding a staff with authority, this male figure exudes power and grace fit for royalty. Bakst's genius as a costume designer shines through in this piece, as every element has been carefully crafted to convey both strength and beauty. The use of bold colors and luxurious fabrics further enhances the visual impact of this remarkable creation. Originally designed for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, which was known for its groundbreaking productions during the early 20th century, this costume exemplifies Bakst's ability to bring fantasy to life on stage. It is no wonder that his work continues to inspire designers today. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection and is part of Russian art history that remains out of copyright. Its availability allows us to appreciate Bakst's artistic brilliance and immerse ourselves in the enchanting world he helped create on stage.
