Masked Ball at the Opera by Edouard Manet https://www.nga.gov/artworks/61246-masked-ball-opera
Manet came from a well–to–do family, and this painting provides a glimpse of the sophisticated Parisian world he loved. He was uncomfortable in the countryside, preferring instead the finery of the city.
London and Philadelphia, 1910: 68-69, 233, no. 153. 1912 Meier-Graefe, Julius.
