Jules Platier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing on aged paper. The image depicts a large tented event space with a high, draped ceiling. The ceiling has beams and chandeliers hanging down. The walls of the tent have drapes and curtains. People are dressed in 19th-century attire, men in suits and hats, women in long skirts and dresses. Some people are standing, some are seated, and some are dancing. There is a raised platform on the right with a man standing and holding a conductor's baton. The image is framed with decorative elements, including swirls and two standing men, one at each side. At the bottom of the image, there is a small drawing of a village scene, and text in French.
