"Scheherazade, from the series 'Designs on the dances of Vaslav Nijinsky'" is a notable work by the French illustrator and costume designer Georges Barbier, created in the early 20th century. This piece is part of a larger collection of illustrations that pay homage to the legendary Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, who was renowned for his extraordinary talent and his role as a leading figure in the world of dance during that era. Barbier's series captures the essence and dynamism of Nijinsky's performances through a visual medium, translating the dancer's movements and the spirit of the ballets into stylized, Art Deco-influenced illustrations.

The "Scheherazade" illustration in particular is inspired by the ballet of the same name, which premiered in 1910 by the Ballets Russes, with choreography by Michel Fokine and music by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Nijinsky starred in the ballet, and his portrayal of the Golden Slave is one of his most famous roles. Barbier's work reflects the exoticism and opulence of the ballet's setting, which is based on the collection of Middle Eastern folk tales known as "One Thousand and One Nights." The illustration is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and the luxurious costumes that were typical of the Ballets Russes productions.

As a key figure in the Art Deco movement, Georges Barbier's illustrations not only document the innovative dance performances of his time but also contribute to the history of graphic arts and fashion design. His work, including the "Scheherazade" illustration, is celebrated for its elegance, sophistication, and the way it encapsulates the glamour of the early 20th century. Barbier's "Designs on the dances of Vaslav Nijinsky" remains an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the intersection of visual art and the performing arts during a period of rich artistic experimentation.
