Auf dem Ball (1925)

We are delighted to showcase "Auf dem Ball" (At the Ball), a captivating painting by Brynolf Wennerberg from the year 1925. The artwork features a striking portrait of a woman standing elegantly, her posture embodying the sophistication and vibrancy of a ballroom atmosphere.The subject is dressed in a stunning ball gown that drapes gracefully over her frame. The upper part of the dress is adorned with dark, intricate detailing, which contrasts beautifully with the lighter, flowing elements of the skirt. The blend of dark and light hues enhances the dimensional quality of the painting, lending a soft yet dynamic texture to the fabric.Her attire is complemented by a chic, ornamental hat, adding a touch of flair and intricacy to her overall appearance. The woman’s confident, slightly turned pose and the way she holds her gloves suggest a moment of pause, possibly as she engages in a quiet observation of the ballroom scene or awaits a dance partner.Wennerberg’s brushwork is both fluid and expressive, capturing not just the visual elegance of the scene, but also the mood and the fleeting nature of the moment. His use of muted background allows the viewer to focus entirely on the figure, highlighting her as the centerpiece of this social gathering."Auf dem Ball" is a masterful representation of early 20th-century elegance and societal gatherings, rendered with artistic sensitivity and a keen eye for detail.
