Henri Gervex, Return from the Ball, 1879
If I remember correctly, the lady on the couch showed up to the ball wearing the same dress at the empress, in Vienna, I think.

Powerful depiction of the aftermath from a ball gone horribly wrong.

It doesn't look like they had a ball. It looks like balls may have been a social minefield for the ladies.

Similar, but different in the emotions that each painting conveys. Beautiful.

This is a whole play. Is he her father or her lover? Or has she been married to him unwillingly? Or, was the ball at their house, but no one showed up because he is in disgrace, or in trade? The dark things on the couch – feathers? Or, she just told him she’s a lesbian.
