Lev Samoilovich Bakst, a prominent Russian painter and scene-and-costume designer, created the costume design for the Shepherdess in the ballet 'Daphnis and Chloe' in 1912. This work is a testament to Bakst's innovative approach to theatrical design, which played a significant role in the development of modern stagecraft. 'Daphnis and Chloe,' a ballet composed by Maurice Ravel, was produced by the Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking ballet company founded by Sergei Diaghilev. The ballet premiered in Paris and is based on the ancient Greek romance by Longus, telling the story of two young lovers, Daphnis and Chloe, who are raised by shepherds and eventually find their way back to each other after a series of trials.

Bakst's design for the Shepherdess costume exemplifies his ability to blend historical and cultural elements with a modernist aesthetic. The costume is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and flowing fabrics, which reflect Bakst's fascination with the exotic and the opulent. His designs often drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including ancient Greek and Roman art, Orientalism, and Art Nouveau, creating a unique visual language that was both timeless and avant-garde.

The Shepherdess costume, in particular, showcases Bakst's skill in creating garments that not only enhance the narrative of the ballet but also allow for the physical demands of dance. The use of lightweight materials and careful attention to movement ensured that the costume was both functional and visually striking. Bakst's work on 'Daphnis and Chloe' is widely regarded as a masterpiece of costume design, contributing to the overall success and enduring legacy of the Ballets Russes.

Bakst's influence extended beyond the world of ballet, impacting fashion, interior design, and the visual arts. His collaboration with the Ballets Russes marked a significant period in the history of costume design, where the boundaries between fine art and theatrical design were increasingly blurred. The Shepherdess costume remains a celebrated example of Bakst's artistic vision and his contribution to the evolution of stage design in the early 20th century.
