Scene from Cesare Pugni’s ballet “The Pharaoh's Daughter". Vera Karalli, Sofia Feodorova, and Alexey Kozlov as Bint-Anath, Hita and Negro

“K. A. Korovin’s stage set and costumes won a wide acclaim. Some of the critics thought that the artist had never created anything more luxurious and with such a passion for colors. Images on Egyptian bas-reliefs prompted Gorsky the profiled lineups for dances and groups, while Korovin borrowed long narrow clothing, which seems to swaddle bodies.” E. Surits
