'''Costume Design for Harlequin, from Sleeping Beauty, 1921''' is a work by Léon Samoilovitch Bakst, a Russian painter and scene and costume designer associated with the Ballets Russes and the Art Nouveau movement. Bakst was renowned for his richly colored and exotic designs that revolutionized the aesthetics of ballet and theatre during the early 20th century. This particular design was created for the character of Harlequin in the production of "The Sleeping Princess," a ballet adaptation of Charles Perrault's "Sleeping Beauty," which was staged by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1921.

The costume design reflects Bakst's signature style, characterized by vibrant colors, elaborate patterns, and an innovative blend of historical accuracy with fantastical elements. It showcases his ability to convey character through costume, with Harlequin's traditional role as a comic servant being depicted through the playful and whimsical elements of the design. The costume would have been integral to the visual storytelling of the ballet, contributing to the overall spectacle and helping to define the character's role within the narrative.

Bakst's work on "The Sleeping Princess" was part of his broader impact on the visual aspects of ballet and theatre. His designs were not only aesthetically striking but also carefully considered the movement and needs of the dancers, influencing the evolution of costume design in the performing arts. The Costume Design for Harlequin is an example of Bakst's legacy in the arts, encapsulating the fusion of art and performance that characterized the Ballets Russes and left a lasting impression on the world of dance and theatre design.
