Portrait de Mademoiselle Chanel 1923 Oil on canvas In the fall of 1923, while Marie Laurencin was creating the sets and costumes for the ballet Les Biches for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, Gabrielle, known as Coco Chanel (1883-1971) designed the costumes for the dance operetta Le Train bleu for the same company, based on a script by Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) and music by composer Darius Milhaud.Coco Chanel commissions her portrait from the painter. The composition with the soft harmonies of blue, green and pink having displeased the model, Laurencin kept the work, which Paul Guillaume acquired later.
