EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite ballet costume design of Cleopatra, created by the talented artist Leon Bakst in 1909. The stunning costume sketch was specifically made for Ida Rubinstein's performance in the ballet Cleopatra during the renowned 1909 season of Ballets Russes in Paris. The artwork beautifully captures the essence and grandeur of ancient Egypt, with its elaborate and intricate details. The vibrant colors, including black and brown tones, bring life to this mesmerizing portrayal of Cleopatra as a powerful and alluring character. In this vertical composition, we see Cleopatra with her arms outstretched in a pose that exudes both enjoyment and exuberance. Her movements convey a sense of pleasure as she gracefully dances across the stage. The fabric chosen for her dress is carefully depicted through watercolor techniques, adding depth and texture to the illustration. Bakst's skillful use of art media such as pencil enhances every aspect of this remarkable piece. Cleopatra VII, known as Queen of Egypt, is portrayed here with regal elegance befitting her status. This artwork not only highlights Bakst's exceptional talent but also pays homage to Ida Rubinstein's extraordinary interpretation on stage. As an adult ballerina soloist, Rubinstein brings forth her expertise in dance to embody this iconic historical figure. Through their collaboration, Bakst and Rubinstein have successfully brought Cleopatra back to life on stage for audiences around the world to marvel at. This print serves as a testament to their artistic prowess while immersing us into a world where music meets movement and history intertwines with entertainment.
