''The Great Eunuch'' is a costume design created by Léon Samoilovitch Bakst in 1910 for Sergei Diaghilev's production of the ballet ''Scheherazade''. Based on the tale from ''One Thousand and One Nights'', the ballet was a part of the repertoire of the Ballets Russes, an influential ballet company that performed throughout Europe and on tours to America. Bakst, a Russian painter and scene and costume designer, was a central figure in the company and played a pivotal role in defining its visual aesthetic. His designs for ''Scheherazade'' were noted for their opulent colors, exoticism, and sensuality, which matched the orientalist themes of the ballet and contributed to its immediate success.

The costume design for The Great Eunuch reflects the luxurious and fantastical elements that characterized Bakst's work during this period. It showcases his ability to combine historical accuracy with a stylized interpretation that complemented the choreography of Michel Fokine and the music of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Bakst's designs were not only integral to the visual impact of the Ballets Russes productions but also influenced fashion and design beyond the world of ballet, contributing to the Art Nouveau and later Art Deco movements.

The Great Eunuch costume is a testament to Bakst's innovative use of color and his understanding of fabric and form. It helped to create a cohesive visual narrative that enhanced the storytelling of the ballet. Today, Bakst's work for ''Scheherazade'', including The Great Eunuch, is held in high regard by art historians and ballet enthusiasts alike, and it remains an important example of early 20th-century theatrical design.
