Leon Samoilovitch Bakst, a prominent Russian painter and scene-and-costume designer, created the costume design for a peasant woman in the 1917 production of "Sadko." "Sadko" is an opera composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, based on a Russian folk tale about the legendary hero Sadko, a gusli player and adventurer. Bakst's involvement in the production came at a time when he was already well-established as a key figure in the world of theatrical design, particularly through his work with the Ballets Russes, a renowned ballet company led by Sergei Diaghilev.

Bakst's design for the peasant woman in "Sadko" is a testament to his ability to blend traditional Russian motifs with the avant-garde aesthetics of the early 20th century. His costume designs are characterized by their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and a deep understanding of the cultural and historical context of the characters he depicted. For the peasant woman, Bakst employed a rich palette and elaborate detailing that reflected both the rustic simplicity and the ornate beauty of Russian peasant attire. The costume likely featured elements such as embroidered blouses, layered skirts, and traditional headpieces, all meticulously crafted to enhance the authenticity and visual appeal of the character.

Bakst's work on "Sadko" not only contributed to the overall success of the production but also highlighted his versatility and creativity as a designer. His ability to capture the essence of Russian folklore and translate it into compelling visual narratives made him a pivotal figure in the world of costume design. The 1917 production of "Sadko," with Bakst's contributions, remains a significant example of early 20th-century theatrical design, showcasing the fusion of traditional and modern elements that defined Bakst's illustrious career.
