About the piece

Painted in 1894 by Romà Ribera i Cirera, this work is a quintessential example of Belle Époque elegance. The artist masterfully captures the luminous textures of velvet, fur, and silk, contrasting the central figures' high-fashion attire against the warm, atmospheric background of the ballroom's exit.
