Costume Study for "Jeux"

Lev Samoilovich Bakst

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two full-body sketches of figures placed next to each other on a plain background. On the left is a male figure in a costume with a round neck, short sleeves, and suspenders, wearing shoes and standing with his arms akimbo. A ball is placed at his foot. On the right, there is a female figure in a profile stance with her hands on her hips and a ball resting against her right arm. She is depicted in a knee-length dress with a structured bodice and full skirt, and ballet-style shoes. The background is a light, unadorned shade.
