Une Soirée

Jean Béraut 1878

This delightful painting, painted by Jean Béraut in 1878, normally lives in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, but in 2004 it came to Melbourne as part of The Impressionists exhibition. It is one of my favourites. The people portrayed look like real people, with real faces and real feelings, and the costumes are magnificent. So, too, are the figures of the ladies.
