Leon Samoilovitch Bakst, a renowned Russian painter and scene- and costume designer, created the "Costume for a Female Puppet" in 1917 for the ballet "La Boutique Fantasque" (The Fantastic Toyshop). This ballet, choreographed by Léonide Massine with music by Gioachino Rossini, was produced by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, a company celebrated for its innovative and avant-garde productions that significantly influenced early 20th-century art and culture.

Bakst's design for the female puppet costume exemplifies his distinctive style, characterized by vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and a blend of traditional and modernist elements. The costume reflects the whimsical and fantastical nature of the ballet, which tells the story of a magical toyshop where dolls come to life. Bakst's work on this production is a testament to his ability to create visually stunning and thematically coherent designs that enhance the narrative and emotional impact of the performance.

The costume itself is a rich tapestry of textures and hues, combining elements of Eastern and Western fashion influences, which was a hallmark of Bakst's aesthetic. The use of bold, contrasting colors and elaborate ornamentation not only captures the eye but also conveys the playful and enchanting spirit of the character. Bakst's attention to detail and his innovative approach to costume design helped to elevate the visual spectacle of "La Boutique Fantasque," making it a memorable and influential production in the history of ballet.

Bakst's contribution to the Ballets Russes extended beyond costume design; his work encompassed set design and overall artistic direction, helping to create a cohesive and immersive experience for audiences. His designs for "La Boutique Fantasque" remain celebrated for their artistic brilliance and their role in pushing the boundaries of theatrical design. The "Costume for a Female Puppet" is a prime example of Bakst's genius, showcasing his ability to blend art, fashion, and performance into a harmonious and captivating whole.
