EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Vaslav Nijinsky in three iconic roles - Narcisse, Petrouchka, and Till Eulenspiegl. Taken between 1911-16 by an anonymous French photographer, this image is a testament to Nijinsky's unparalleled talent as a Russian ballet dancer. In the role of Narcisse, Nijinsky exudes ethereal grace and beauty. His pose reflects the mythological character's obsession with his own reflection, while his flowing toga adds an air of mystique to the composition. As Petrouchka, Nijinsky transforms into a puppet-like figure with exaggerated movements and expressions. The clownish costume perfectly complements his mischievous portrayal of this beloved character from Russian folklore. Finally, as Till Eulenspiegl, Nijinsky embodies the German folk legend known for his trickster nature. With a mischievous glint in his eye and full-length portrait capturing his dynamic energy, he brings this whimsical character to life on stage. All three roles were performed for the Ballets Russes under choreography by Michel Fokine (Narcisse and Petrouchka) and by Nijinsky himself (Till Eulenspiegl). This triptych showcases not only Nijinsky's versatility but also highlights the immense creativity that characterized early 20th-century ballet. Now part of a private collection, this photograph serves as a timeless reminder of Vaslav Nijinksy's
