Encircled by dancing worshippers, this depiction reveals his mischievous nature. From L'Art du Travestissement comes a stunning fancy dress costume for Mephistopheles - every detail meticulously designed to embody wickedness. Equally bewitching is another costume from the same collection portraying a female devil; both costumes epitomize diabolical allure.

Transporting us to the world of ballet is a mesmerizing costume design for The Devil in Love. Inspired by an original work, this intricate ensemble captures both elegance and malevolence simultaneously. The Mask of Janus originating from Ibo or Igala tribes adds cultural depth to our exploration. Carved from wood and painted intricately, it symbolizes duality - reminding us that even demons possess multifaceted identities. Major Bagstock emerges vividly from Charles Dickens' Dombey & Son in vibrant color lithography.
