The Palais Royal - Gallery's Walk / Promenade de la Galerie du Palais Royal

Philibert-Louis Debucourt after Claude-Louis Desrais

National Gallery of Art

This print depicts a crowded interior space filled with elegantly dressed people. The people wear elaborate attire, including wide-brimmed hats and flowing robes and gowns accentuated with feathers and lace. The people all appear to have pale skin and hair in shades of white and gray set in elaborate, curled styles. Some of the people have slightly exaggerated proportions, making them look cartoonish. The setting is a grand hall with arched windows featuring blue lattice designs and decorative orange curtains, and detailed architectural elements such as columns and high ceilings are visible in the background. Surrounding the print is a border of off-white paper, with a line of text at the bottom.
