Pas d'Infanterie

About this work

This sketch shows a crowded dance scene at what looks like a fancy party. Five people are mid-motion, wearing tall hats, suits, and dresses from the 1800s. One man in the center is dancing with a woman, while others watch or join in. The background is blurry but suggests a grand room with chandeliers and other guests. The title, *Pas d’Infanterie*, hints this might be a playful jab at military-style dancing—like soldiers marching instead of moving smoothly. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the energy of the moment. If you like this lively scene, check out lithography to see how artists like Vernier made prints like this.
