"Costume design for Mirliton, from Sleeping Beauty, 1921" is a notable 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 innovative and opulent designs that revolutionized the aesthetics of ballet and theatre during the early 20th century. This particular design was created for the character Mirliton in the 1921 production of "The Sleeping Beauty," a ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and originally choreographed by Marius Petipa.

Bakst's design for Mirliton reflects his signature style, characterized by rich colors, elaborate patterns, and a fusion of historical and exotic elements. The costume would have been intended for one of the divertissements in the third act of the ballet, where various fairytale characters perform dances at the wedding of Princess Aurora and Prince Désiré. Mirliton, often depicted as a reed flute player, is part of this celebratory ensemble, and Bakst's costume would have contributed to the fantastical and fairy-tale atmosphere of the scene.

The costume design is indicative of Bakst's attention to detail and his ability to convey character through costume. It likely features the sumptuous fabrics, intricate embroidery, and bold use of color for which Bakst's designs are celebrated. As with many of his works, the design for Mirliton would have been a harmonious blend of artistic vision and practical considerations for dance performance.

Léon Bakst's influence on the visual aspects of ballet and theatre extended beyond his lifetime, with his designs continuing to inspire fashion, stage design, and the visual arts. The costume design for Mirliton from "The Sleeping Beauty" remains a testament to Bakst's legacy as a pivotal figure in the transformation of costume design into a form of high art.
