Miss Gertrude Hoffmann as Zobeide in Scheherazade: A Vision of Exotic Allure from the 1910s This theatrical portrait captures the enchanting presence of Gertrude Hoffmann (1883-1966) in the role of Zobeide from the classic dance production, Scheherazade. The image, taken in 1911, showcases Hoffmann's grace and elegance as she embodies the Persian princess, adorned in an intricately designed costume and bedecked with exquisite jewellery. Gertrude Hoffmann was a pioneering figure in the world of dance, both as a dancer and a choreographer. Her innovative approach to dance and her ability to captivate audiences earned her a reputation as one of the most influential figures in the art form during the early 20th century. Scheherazade, an adaptation of the famous Arabian Nights tale, was a groundbreaking dance production that showcased Hoffmann's extraordinary talent. The production, which premiered in 1909, was a visual and auditory feast, with Hoffmann's mesmerizing performances set to Rimsky-Korsakov's iconic music. In this image, Hoffmann's pose and expression convey the mystery and allure of Zobeide, a character from the Arabian Nights tale. The use of rich colors and intricate patterns in her costume and the dazzling jewellery further enhance the exotic and enchanting atmosphere of the portrait. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of dance during the Edwardian era, a time when the art form was undergoing significant changes and innovations. Gertrude Hoffmann's performance as Zobeide in Scheherazade was a testament to her artistic vision and her ability to captivate audiences with her grace, beauty, and skill.
