EDITORS COMMENTS
A Masked Encounter at the Masquerade Ball: A Playful Interlude of Flirtation and Surprise This hand-colored engraving, titled 'A Meeting at a Ball,' is an exquisite example of the satirical and entertaining art of Pierre de la Mesangère from his collection 'Le Bon Genre,' published in Paris in 1817. The image portrays a lively scene at a masquerade ball, where the anonymity of masks allows for playful encounters and unexpected interruptions. At the center of the composition, a masked woman in a decollete gown and a Normandy girl, both adorned with fans, engage in flirtatious banter with a revolutionary man in a bicorn hat and cockade. His serious expression contrasts with their lighthearted demeanor, adding to the intrigue of the scene. Suddenly, a woman in drag as a Turkish man bursts into the conversation, interrupting their moment. Her bold entrance and the double bass player in the background, who seems to be observing the scene with amusement, add layers of complexity to this intriguing tableau. The title of the print, 'I know you, but you don't know me,' suggests a power dynamic at play. The masked women have the upper hand, as they can manipulate and entertain the revolutionary man without revealing their true identities. They are in control, and he is left guessing, unable to retaliate or expose their faults or weaknesses. This enchanting image is a testament to the allure and mystery of masquerade balls, where fashion, entertainment, and the unexpected intertwine to create unforgettable moments.
