Cover design for Narcisse by Nikolai Tcherepnin

Cover design for Narcisse, a mythological poem set to music by the Russian composer Nikolai Nikolayevich Tcherepnin (1873-1945). Tcherepnin wrote a ballet piece entitled Narcisse et Echo in 1911, and this may be a movement from it. A performance by the Ballets Russes took place at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in July 1912, with designs by Bakst. On this cover, a bright green faun is depicted, playing a long flute or pipe
