The artwork, titled “Le dieu bleu bayadere with peacock,” created by artist Leon Bakst in 1912, is an exemplary piece of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement, specifically within the design genre. The artwork features a richly adorned figure standing in an elegant pose, with an intricate peacock positioned behind them.
The figure is dressed in a vibrant and textured traditional costume, consisting of a pleated skirt, ornate jewelry, and a headdress, which are detailed with meticulous patterns and bright colors. The peacock, notable for its majestic feathers, adds a layer of indulgence and splendor to the composition. The background remains simple, ensuring that the attention remains firmly on the opulent attire and the grandeur of the peacock. The artist’s signature and the date are visible in the bottom right corner, subtly reinforcing the historical context of the creation.
