Amidst the twinkling chandeliers and rustling silk gowns, the enchantment of the masked ball comes to an end. "The Pink Dress" (oil on panel) and "After the Ball" (oil on canvas) capture the bittersweet moment as dancers pack up their programs and step out into the moonlit night. In Edgar Degas' "After the Ball, 1871" (oil on canvas), the elegance of the scene is juxtaposed with the weariness etched on the faces of the guests. Meanwhile, in "After the Ball, Comparing Programmes" (chromolitho), the excitement of the evening's revelries is preserved through the comparison of programs, a keepsake of the memories made. And as the clock strikes midnight in "Midnight, 1830-48" (colour litho), the magic of the ball fades away, leaving only the echoes of laughter and the lingering memories of a night to remember.
