Sheherazade
George Barbier
Circa: 1913
An exquisite example of early Art Deco illustration, this 1913 piece by George Barbier depicts Sheherazade mid-dance—graceful, adorned, and suspended in a moment of opulent drama. The composition is rich in theatrical fantasy, with deep black background and intricate costume detail echoing Barbier’s flair for haute couture and stage design. Influenced by Persian tales and Ballets Russes aesthetics, the image captures the spirit of Orientalism that defined the era’s most luxurious visual trends.
