EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Chinese Mandarin" a stunning costume design created by Russian artist Leon Bakst for the ballet production of Sleeping Beauty in 1921. The image, captured in pencil, watercolor, and gouache, highlights the intricate details of this early 20th-century masterpiece. In this close-up portrait style photograph, we see a mature man dressed as the Chinese Mandarin character. His ornate outfit features rich patterns and textures that beautifully complement his black hair and distinguished mustache. With an aversion gaze and a hand gesture, he exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the carefully crafted garment to the delicate slippers on his feet, each element contributes to the overall allure of this costumed figure. The golden accents add a touch of elegance while enhancing his regal presence. Leon Bakst's mastery shines through in this portrayal of the Chinese Mandarin. Through his skillful use of color and gesture, he brings life to a character deeply rooted in oriental culture. This artwork serves as both a testament to Bakst's talent as well as an homage to traditional Asian aesthetics. Displayed against a dark background inside what appears to be a studio setting, this print captures not only the beauty but also the essence of "The Chinese Mandarin". It invites viewers into another world where artistry meets performance and imagination takes flight within ballet's enchanting realm.
