The Butterfly (1913) by Leon Bakst is a luminous costume design created for the legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova. With sweeping lines, airy textures, and delicate wing-like forms, Bakst envisioned a costume that embodied grace, movement, and transformation. As one of the leading artists of the Ballets Russes, Bakst was renowned for merging theatrical imagination with bold color and refined detail—an approach fully realized in this ethereal design. The artwork reflects the spirit of early 20th-century ballet, where performance, costume, and fine art blended into a unified expression of beauty and innovation.
