"The Great Eunuch, costume design for Diaghilev's production of the ballet 'Scheherazade', 1910 (detail)" is a notable work by Leon Samoilovitch Bakst, a Russian painter and scene and costume designer associated with the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev. Bakst's work for 'Scheherazade' is celebrated for its opulent color, exoticism, and intricate detail, which played a significant role in the visual spectacle of the ballet and contributed to its success.

The ballet 'Scheherazade', which premiered in Paris in 1910, was inspired by the collection of Middle Eastern folk tales known as "One Thousand and One Nights." Bakst's designs for the production were instrumental in creating the sumptuous and sensual atmosphere that the narrative demanded. His costume design for "The Great Eunuch" character is a testament to his ability to blend historical accuracy with imaginative interpretation, resulting in a visual feast that enhanced the storytelling of the ballet.

Bakst's design features rich fabrics, elaborate patterns, and a bold use of color that was characteristic of his style and the aesthetic of the Ballets Russes during its golden age. The costume not only served to define the character of The Great Eunuch within the narrative but also reflected the broader artistic movement of Orientalism, which was prevalent in European art at the turn of the 20th century.

Leon Bakst's contribution to the visual identity of 'Scheherazade' and the Ballets Russes has been widely acknowledged by art and dance historians. His work on this production remains a significant example of early 20th-century theatrical design and continues to influence the fields of costume and set design in the performing arts. The Great Eunuch costume design is preserved in various art collections and is often exhibited as a key piece representing Bakst's legacy and the innovative spirit of the Ballets Russes.
