"Costume Design for 'Ephebes' from 'Phaedre', 1923 by Léon Samoilovitch Bakst" is a notable work by the Russian artist and costume designer Léon Bakst, who was a pivotal figure in the visual aesthetic of the Ballets Russes during the early 20th century. This particular design was created for the production of "Phaedre," which is an adaptation of the classic Greek tragedy by Jean Racine. The term "ephebes" refers to young men in ancient Greece who were in a period of training to be full citizens and soldiers, often depicted as embodiments of beauty and youth.

Bakst's design for the 'Ephebes' is emblematic of his lavish and exotic style, which often featured bold colors, intricate patterns, and an innovative use of textiles that influenced fashion and stage design beyond the world of ballet. His work for "Phaedre" in 1923 came at the latter part of his career, after he had already established himself with designs for earlier productions such as "Cleopatra" (1909), "Scheherazade" (1910), and "The Afternoon of a Faun" (1912).

The costume design for the 'Ephebes' reflects Bakst's continued fascination with the classical world and his ability to reinterpret historical dress with a modern, theatrical twist. The design would have contributed to the visual storytelling of the ballet, enhancing the narrative through the use of symbolic colors, shapes, and motifs that resonate with the themes of the play.

As a significant figure in the art world, Bakst's contributions to costume design are well-documented, and his works are held in high esteem in museum collections around the world. The costume design for 'Ephebes' from 'Phaedre' is a testament to his enduring legacy in the intersection of fine art and performance, showcasing his mastery in bringing dramatic characters to life through the medium of costume.
