Festivities at Les Invalides is a 1900 oil by Henri Evenepoel, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting depicts a lively scene of people gathered in an open area, likely a street or square. The crowd is dressed in late 19th-century attire, with men wearing hats and coats, while women are dressed in long skirts and headscarves. A vendor is visible on the left, selling items from a cart. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings, with a sense of energy and activity emanating from the gathering. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye through the scene.
