"Costume Design for a Sultan" is a notable work by the Russian artist and stage designer Léon Samoilovitch Bakst (1866–1924). Bakst was a member of the Sergei Diaghilev circle and the innovative Ballets Russes, where he gained international fame for his extravagant costumes and set designs that revolutionized the visual aspect of ballet and theatre in the early 20th century.

This particular piece reflects Bakst's fascination with Orientalism and his talent for combining vibrant colors with luxurious textures, which became a hallmark of his style. The costume design likely dates from the period when Bakst was actively involved with the Ballets Russes, between 1909 and 1921, a time when the company was celebrated for its groundbreaking productions that often featured exotic themes and settings.

The design showcases a richly adorned costume for a Sultan character, which would have been used in one of the Ballets Russes' productions. Bakst's designs were not only aesthetically striking but also carefully researched, drawing on historical sources and his own travels to inform the authenticity of his work, while also infusing it with a modernist sensibility.

The costume would have been part of a larger narrative within the ballet, contributing to the storytelling by defining the character's role and status through visual means. Bakst's work was instrumental in elevating costume design to an art form that was integral to the overall impact of a theatrical production.

"Costume Design for a Sultan" exemplifies Bakst's contribution to the visual language of theatre and his enduring influence on costume and set design. His work remains studied and celebrated for its artistic merit and its role in shaping the aesthetics of early 20th-century performance art.
