This print showcases the exquisite costume design created by artist Leon Bakst for Ida Rubinstein in the ballet "Helene de Sparte" in 1912. The ballet, based on a libretto by E. Verhaeren and music composed by D. de Severac, tells the story of Helen of Sparta, whose beauty ignited the Trojan War. Bakst's artistic genius is evident in this stunning color lithograph, which captures the essence of Rubinstein's character with remarkable detail and elegance. The costume exudes opulence and grandeur, reflecting both the regal nature of Helen herself and the lavishness associated with opera and ballet performances during that era. The intricate attention to every aspect of the design is apparent - from the flowing drapery that accentuates Rubinstein's graceful movements to the delicate embellishments adorning her dress. The vibrant colors further enhance her presence on stage, ensuring she becomes a focal point amidst an elaborate theatrical scenic painting. This rare piece from a private collection offers us a glimpse into a momentous collaboration between renowned artists who shaped early 20th-century theater arts. It serves as a testament to their creativity and dedication to creating visually stunning productions that continue to captivate audiences even today. As we admire this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness Ida Rubinstein embodying Helene de Sparte through Bakst's magnificent costume design – an enduring tribute to their collective brilliance within the realms of opera, ballet
