Costume Design: Cléopâtre
![Unfinished painting of a figure facing sideways wearing a costume, inspired by Egyptian clothing, that consists of a wrap-around skirt, a shawl tied at the chest, and a close-fitting cap covering the entire hairline and back of the neck. The body of the figure has been painted, but the clothing is only outlined in pencil with some gold highlights added. Annotations appear in pencil.](https://isaw.nyu.edu/exhibitions/ballets-russes/objects/93/@@images/23c7f24d-eec2-4dc8-84d3-2286fef6b9cf.jpeg)
