About the piece
Painted around 1910 by Claude-Charles Bourgonnier, this oil sketch serves as a preliminary study for a mural in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The work captures the 'Bal du 14 Juillet' (July 14th Ball), where musicians perform on a stage for a celebrating crowd illuminated by the soft glow of colorful lanterns. Its loose brushwork and atmospheric lighting perfectly embody the energy of a Belle Époque street festival.
