Original Description
Leon Bakst's Design for a Page Boy in 'The Sleeping Princess' (1919) is a dazzling glimpse into the opulence of Ballets Russes stage design, where Eastern exoticism meets Art Deco flair. Created for the revival of Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty, the sketch erupts with Bakst’s signature vibrancy—fluid lines, jewel-toned hues, and exaggerated silhouettes that electrify the page. The page boy’s costume, a fantastical confection of embroidered fabrics and ornate headgear, embodies Bakst’s genius for blending historical references with modernist daring. As a pivotal figure in early 20th-century theatrical design, Bakst redefined visual storytelling, and this work exemplifies his influence on both fashion and interior design. Its theatrical grandeur and meticulous detail place it among the most celebrated examples of stage costume art, bridging fine art and performance.
For interiors, this artwork demands a space that honors its drama while balancing its intensity. Ideal for a study or dressing room, pair it with rich textures like velvet upholstery or lacquered furniture to echo its luxurious feel. Frame it in a thin gold leaf frame to complement its gilded accents, and hang it against deep navy or emerald walls to intensify its colors. At roughly 12x16 inches (typical for Bakst’s sketches), it suits intimate settings—flank it with art deco sconces for cohesion. Avoid clutter; let it dominate as a singular statement. In offices, it injects creativity when placed near sleek, minimalist desks, its historic exuberance contrasting with modern lines for dynamic tension.
