EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Maria Kuznetsova's remarkable costume design for L'Adoration, a ballet production from 1922. The artwork, created by the talented Russian artist Leon Bakst, is rendered in pencil and gouache on paper. In this close-up portrait style image, we see a female dancer dressed in an exquisite yellow outfit with intricate details. Her gaze is directed away from the viewer, evoking a sense of mystery and allure. The dancer's pose suggests her active involvement in a performance as she stands confidently with folded arms and legs raised gracefully. She wears a vibrant red hat that adds to the overall visual impact of the composition. The white color of her slippers contrasts beautifully against her brightly colored attire. Bakst's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this costume design - from the jacket and trousers to the headwear and coat. This historic piece captures both the elegance and energy associated with early 20th-century ballet performances. Mounted on paper, this pencil drawing exudes artistic expression and concentration while showcasing Bakst's mastery in capturing movement through his portraiture work. It serves as a testament to his contribution to dance history as well as his ability to bring characters to life through clothing design. This print offers viewers an intimate glimpse into one of Maria Kuznetsova's stunning creations for L'Adoration, allowing us to appreciate both her talent as a designer and Bakst's skillful interpretation through artistry.
