Throughout his career Iacovleff maintained a fascination with theater and dance. In 1932 he released an illustrated volume on Kabuki based on earlier studies he produced in Japan during his first Far Eastern trip. The work on paper in the present lot is an example of a drawing after which the accompanying lithographs were modeled.
