À propos de l’œuvre
Page of sketch book showing a sketch by Valentine Gross of Vaslav Nijinsky as the Golden Slave in Mikhail Fokine's ballet Schéhérazade, Diaghilev Ballets Russes. Paris, ca. 1910.
The sketch is part of the Valentine Gross Archive (THM/165), held by the V&A which contains research material and artwork, including sketches, studies, drawings, pastels and illustrations.
Valentine Gross, a.k.a. Valentine Hugo, was a French art student in Paris in the 1910s. She became a ballet enthusiast, illustrator, researcher and painter. Valentine Gross witnessed annual seasons of Diaghilev Ballets Russes in Paris and made preliminary sketches during performances and rehearsals between 1909 and 1919. She later worked them up into pencil or coloured drawings of various degrees of finish including illustrations and paintings.
