This is a detailed collage titled 'La Peri', created by Richard Carey. The work is based on the original design by Léon Bakst for N. Trouhanova in the title role of the ballet of the same name from 1911.
The collage is constructed from various materials, including textiles, paper, and decorative elements, which together create a three-dimensional effect. The color palette consists of rich hues such as blue, green, orange, and gold, emphasizing the theatrical origins of the design. The artwork is framed behind glass in a gold-colored frame, completing the presentation.
The work is in good condition, commensurate with its age and the materials used. The artist's original signature and annotations are visible on the back of the frame, confirming the authenticity and provenance of the piece.
This artwork is a refined addition to an interior with a penchant for theater history or eclectic art. It comes into its own particularly well in a classic or bohemian setting, where the rich textures and colors can enrich the space.
