AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of hand-retouched prints with silver and gold, based on a model by Leon Bakst.
This artwork is a digital print on vintage paper, subsequently retouched by hand with silver and gold.
Reliefs on the paper are mechanically impressed using a typical embossing technique (raised design - the pattern emerges from the surface).
The quality card shows natural yellowing due to age.
Some small signs and spots clearly visible in the photos.
Technical details
Technique: digital printing with manual retouching.
Support: high-quality embossed card support.
Conditions: good preservation; reliefs and retouches intact, some minor signs.
Dimensions: 21.5 x 22.2 cm.
Note for collectors:
This is a hand-retouched print, not an original artwork by the author. The retouching adds depth and a unique appearance to the piece. Ideal for collectors of vintage prints and decorative pieces.
In the first print, 'Scheherazade' and 'Barbizon' refer to two costumes designed by the artist Léon Bakst for 20th-century ballets.
Scheherazade refers to a costume for a 'black boy' in the ballet 'Scheherazade'.
Barbizon refers to the costume for 'Aladdin's Lamp,' another show for which he designed costumes.
In the second print, the image shows a sketch for theatrical costumes, titled 'Phèdre et Thésée', created in 1923 by Leon Bakst. This drawing is a design for a ballet or a theatrical work, illustrating the classical mythological themes and the dramatic emotions of the ancient Greek story.
The artwork depicts the mythological characters Fedra and Teseo.
Leon Bakst (born Lev Samoylovich Rosenberg) was a renowned Russian costume designer and set designer, known for his work with the Russian Ballets of Diaghilev.
The drawing is characterized by vivid colors and decorative motifs, typical of Bakst's style, who revolutionized theatrical design at the beginning of the 20th century.
Please review the photographic gallery carefully, as it is an integral part of the description, to avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings.
Careful packaging and shipping with tracking.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that captures my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual... or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
