About the piece
This expressive work by Louis Legrand captures a moment of spirited dance at the Bal Bullier, a legendary Parisian dance hall. Using vibrant white highlights and fluid, sketch-like lines on a warm toned paper, Legrand depicts the swirling skirts of the cancan dancers against a backdrop of spectators, perfectly evoking the nightlife of late 19th-century Paris.
