作品について
Stylised illustration by Roberto Montenegro in pen and ink and blue wash of Vaslav Nijinsky as Harlequin in Mikhail Fokine's ballet, Carnaval. Montenegro shows Nijinsky rather taller and streamlined than the 5'4" stocky dancer he was. He has, however, captured Nijinsky's neck and face. The illustration does not so much capture a moment from the ballet as suggest its atmosphere.
Montenegro produced ten drawings of Nijinsky in black and white highlighted in gold and offered them to Cyril Beaumont who purchased them on the condition that he could publish them in a 'small edition'. This drawing is one of Montenegro's originals with the gold areas blocked out before printing and was Plate 3 in the portfolio. It was reproduced as an illustration to Vogue's 'America as Host to the Ballet Russe' December 1915

The popular pantomime-ballet, Carnaval, was described by Tamara Karsavina as being ‘very gay, and very mischievous, in the old tradition of commedia dell’arte’. It was choreographed by Mikhail Fokine to music by Robert Schumann orchestrated by Rimsky-Kosakov, Liadov, Glazunov and Tcherepin. Vaslav Nijinsky did not appear in the premier of Carnaval and took over the role of Harlequin in 1911. The high-waisted, lozenge-decorated tights he wears are the revised version of the costume designed by Léon Bakst.
