EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design by the renowned artist Leon Bakst for the Vaudeville Old Moscow at the Theatre Femina in Paris, 1922. The image depicts a peasant woman adorned in traditional Russian attire, beautifully capturing the essence of folklore and tradition. The intricate details of this costume design are truly remarkable. The woman is seen wearing a kokoshnik, a traditional headdress that symbolizes femininity and grace. Her sarafan, a long and flowing dress with vibrant patterns, adds an element of elegance to her ensemble. Every aspect of her outfit reflects the rich cultural heritage of Russia. Bakst's mastery in graphic arts is evident through this colour lithograph. His ability to bring life to theatrical scenic painting shines through as he effortlessly captures the spirit and authenticity of Russian folk culture. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides insight into the world of opera, ballet, and theatre during that era. It transports us back to 1922 when audiences were captivated by performances at Theatre Femina in Paris. As we admire this piece from a private collection today, let us appreciate Bakst's artistic genius and his dedication to preserving traditional dress through fine art images. This photograph reminds us of the beauty found within our cultural roots while paying homage to one artist's contribution towards keeping traditions alive on stage.
