This print showcases the exquisite costume design for Desdemona, the tragic heroine of Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Otello". Created by Charles Bianchini in 1894 for the first performance at Paris Opera, this stunning artwork captures the essence of Desdemona's character and her pivotal role in Shakespeare's play. The intricate pen, pencil, and watercolor on paper technique used by Bianchini brings to life every detail of Desdemona's attire. Her flowing gown is adorned with delicate lace and rich fabrics that accentuate her femininity and elegance. The artist pays careful attention to even the smallest elements, such as the fine embroidery on her sleeves and the intricate patterns on her bodice. Desdemona herself is portrayed as a woman with long hair cascading down her back, symbolizing both beauty and vulnerability. This visual representation perfectly complements Verdi's lyrical music which amplifies Desdemona's emotional journey throughout the opera. As one gazes upon this remarkable maquette de costume (costume sketch), it becomes evident that Bianchini has successfully captured both the tragedy and grace inherent in Desdemona's character. This piece serves as a testament to his artistic talent while also highlighting the significance of costume design in bringing fictional characters to life on stage. Displayed within Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France, this timeless artwork continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts worldwide. It stands as a testament not only to Verdi’s
