The artwork titled “Le martyre de Saint Sebastien Ida Rubinstein as St. Sebastian” was created by the artist Leon Bakst in 1911. It falls under the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and belongs to the design genre.
The artwork depicts a stylized figure adorned in medieval-inspired attire. The figure features a red tunic paired with green leggings and a flowing, geometric-patterned cloak, highlighting the intricate design characteristic of Art Nouveau. The individual stands in a poised, almost theatrical stance, with one hand placed confidently on their hip and a contemplative gaze. A pointed hat and ornate belt accentuate the ensemble, adding to the overall sense of drama and elegance in the artwork.
