"Costume Design for the Beggar" is a notable work by Léon Samoilovitch Bakst, a Russian painter and scene and costume designer associated with the Ballets Russes. This particular design was created for the ballet 'Parade,' which featured music by Erik Satie and premiered in 1917. 'Parade' was a collaborative effort that also involved Jean Cocteau, who wrote the scenario, and Pablo Picasso, who designed the curtain, the cubist costumes, and the set.

Bakst's contribution to 'Parade' through his costume design for the Beggar played a significant role in the visual aspect of the ballet, which was known for its innovative and unconventional approach. The Ballets Russes, under the direction of impresario Sergei Diaghilev, was renowned for its groundbreaking artistic collaborations that fused music, dance, and visual art, and Bakst was one of the key artists who helped define the visual style of the company's productions.

The costume design for the Beggar reflects Bakst's penchant for vibrant colors, rich textures, and intricate patterns, which were characteristic of his work and contributed to the exotic and opulent aesthetic of the Ballets Russes. His designs often drew inspiration from historical sources, as well as Eastern and folk art, which he reinterpreted in a modernist context.

Bakst's work on 'Parade' and his costume design for the Beggar are emblematic of the cross-disciplinary collaborations that marked the early 20th-century avant-garde movements. The ballet itself was a milestone in the history of modernist art and is remembered for its radical approach to ballet, which included elements of popular entertainment and a score that incorporated unconventional sounds such as typewriters and foghorns.

The costume design for the Beggar is preserved in various art collections and continues to be studied by scholars interested in the history of costume design, theater, and the avant-garde. Bakst's influence on the visual language of theater and dance endures, and his work remains an important reference point for contemporary designers and artists.
