Bal Bullier (c.1895). William Glackens (American, 1870-1938). Oil on canvas. Terra Foundation for American Art. Bal Bullier was a ballroom in Paris created by François Bullier in the mid-19th century. In one of Glackens’s earliest oil paintings, a woman lifts her skirt flirtatiously to reveal her white petticoat as she glances at her partner, stiff in his formal suit and top hat. The mismatched couple in Bal Bullier demonstrates Glackens’s ability to capture not only an urban setting but also intriguing nuances of interaction among people of different social classes. -- source link
