Artwork designed and digitally remastered by Sarasvati Designs. Leon Bakst's 'La Péri'" is a captivating artwork commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes in 1911. Paul Dukas composed the ballet, insisting that his mistress Natacha Trouhanova be its main character, but the production was cancelled because Diaghilev did not consider Trouhanova skilled enough to partner Nijinsky. Trouhanova's name discretely appears in the top right corner of the work, but it has been said that there was little resemblance between Bakst's delicate Persian elf and Trouhanova's more robust figure. Bakst’s considered use of line evokes a sense of rhythmic movement enhanced by the delightful exoticism of his decorative costume. Bakst's artistic expertise is evident in the artwork through his meticulous use of line, which infuses a sense of rhythmic movement. This effect is further accentuated by the delightful exoticism of the intricately designed costume worn by the central character, adding a layer of enchantment and mystique to the piece. "Bakst's 'La Péri'" stands as a testament to Bakst's artistic vision and his contribution to the world of ballet and theatrical design during the early 20th century.
