Some Bakst as you can never really have enough .
Amazing to think that these are not just drawing's but designs that actually came to fruition,but I took this from a book about the Sotheby's discovery of some of these pieces:'pulling out a gorgeously embroidered eighteenth-century coat,immediately identified as a creation by Bakst for 'The Sleeping Princess',that most lavish of all spectacles,we assumed,because of it's splendour,that it was worn by the king or Prince Charming-but no,there where five more like it:it was just one of the courtiers' in the background'
That's the way to do it!
