"Phaedra, Costume design for the Euripides' drama 'Hippolytos', 1902" is a notable work by Leon Samoilovitch Bakst, a Russian painter and scene and costume designer associated with the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev. Created in 1902, this costume design was part of Bakst's early exploration into the world of theatre design, predating his more famous works for ballets such as "The Sleeping Princess" and "The Firebird." The design was intended for the character Phaedra in a production of Euripides' ancient Greek tragedy "Hippolytos."

Bakst's design captures the intricate and expressive style that would later define his career, blending rich colors with historical and cultural elements from ancient Greece. The costume features elaborate patterns and a dramatic silhouette, aiming to enhance the theatrical portrayal of Phaedra's complex character, who is torn by forbidden love and ensnared in tragic circumstances. This work not only highlights Bakst's skill in costume design but also reflects his interest in synthesizing visual art with dramatic narrative, a hallmark of his contributions to modernist stage design. The piece remains an important example of early 20th-century theatrical design and its ability to influence the interpretation and reception of classic dramas.
