Original Description
Leon Bakst’s Costume Design for The Baroness Hunting (1921), created for The Sleeping Princess (a revival of The Sleeping Beauty), is a dazzling fusion of opulence and movement. This watercolor and gouache study captures the Baroness in mid-hunt, her costume a symphony of vibrant reds, golds, and greens, exuding aristocratic grandeur. Bakst, a luminary of the Ballets Russes, merges Art Nouveau’s flowing lines with the bold geometry of Art Deco, reflecting the theatricality of Diaghilev’s avant-garde vision. The piece exemplifies Bakst’s genius in blending historical detail—here, 17th-century hunting attire—with modernist flair. As one of his final works before his death, it cemented his legacy as a pioneer of stage design, bridging fine art and performance in early 20th-century European modernism.
For a striking decor statement, this artwork thrives in a space balancing drama and sophistication. Hang it in a study or lounge with high ceilings and ample natural light to echo its theatrical scale (original designs are typically 30–50 cm, so a large-format reproduction is ideal). Pair it with rich, jewel-toned furnishings—emerald velvet chairs or a gilded mirror—to amplify its regal palette. The intricate detailing suits Art Deco or Baroque-inspired interiors, while the dynamic composition energizes modern minimalist spaces as a bold accent. Opt for a ornate frame in black or gold to honor its theatrical origins, or float it in a sleek tray frame for contemporary contrast. Positioning it above a console or fireplace ensures it commands attention while harmonizing with warm metallics and deep woods.
