EDITORS COMMENTS
"This mid-19th century painting by Swedish artist Johan Fredrik Hockert captures the lively atmosphere of Paris's popular open-air dance establishment, Le Bal Mabille, or Mabille Gardens. The scene is set in the Jardin Mabille, located in Paris's 8th arrondissement, which opened in 1831 and was known for its fashionable crowds and elegant events. In this vibrant oil on panel work, Hockert depicts a lively "Fete de Nuit," or nighttime festival, with Parisians of all ages enjoying the festivities. Women in elegant crinolines and hoopskirts, adorned with parasols and bonnets, mingle with men in fashionable attire, some playing cards or reading, while others dance or engage in a game of tombola. A pair of dogs playfully interact with a woman in a red dress, adding to the lively energy of the scene. Accessories such as gloves and hats are prominently displayed, adding to the sense of fashion and elegance. The Bal Mabille was a popular destination for Parisians and tourists alike, providing entertainment and a glimpse into the latest fashion trends of the time. This painting offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a bygone era of Parisian society and fashion."
