About the piece
Painted in 1903 by Joseph Marius Jean Avy, this evocative work captures the 'Bal Blanc' or white ball, where guests dressed in pale hues. The composition centers on a group of elegantly dressed women, their gowns shimmering in the warm glow of an interior lamp, while a large grand piano anchors the foreground. Avy's soft, painterly brushwork beautifully conveys the sense of music and social grace during the height of the Parisian Belle Époque.
