date 1912 (creation)
description The dancer Dydia Nelidova, who danced the part of the Grande Nymphe in the Afternoon of a Faun (the principal female role in the Nijinsky ballet), is shown dressed in the costume designed by Leon Bakst. Delaroche's sketch captures some of the attempt of the dance to present two-dimensionality and stylized postures to evoke Greek vase painting.
