About the piece
Painted in 1818 by John James Chalon, this vibrant work depicts a 'Bal public' in a sun-dappled Parisian park. The scene is filled with movement as couples in elegant Regency attire whirl in a central dance, framed by lush trees and a trio of musicians on a wooden stage, offering a charming glimpse into the social life of early 19th-century France.
