Henri-Gabriel Ibels

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a marching band procession. The scene depicts a group of individuals wearing blue coats and red hats, marching in formation. In the foreground, musicians play brass instruments such as the horn and tuba, leading the procession. The background shows the continuation of the marchers along a path edged by a building. To the left of the image, there is text listing a theatre program with titles such as "A Bas Le Progrès!", "Mademoiselle Julie", and "Le Ménage Brésilè". The text appears to frame the image as part of a theatrical playbill or advertisement. The artwork features colored pencil or crayon application, with a pointillist or stippling effect in its color. This is in the style of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
