"After the Dance" is a painting by the French artist Henri Gervex, created in the late 19th century, which captures a moment of repose following the lively activity of a dance. Gervex, who was born on December 10, 1852, in Paris, and died on June 7, 1929, in the same city, was known for his portraits and scenes of Parisian life, often depicting the elegance and decadence of the Belle Époque.

The painting "After the Dance" is emblematic of Gervex's style, which combines elements of realism and impressionism. It showcases his skill in rendering the human figure with a particular focus on the play of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the atmosphere of a specific moment. The composition typically features one or more figures, likely dancers, in a state of rest or relaxation, their postures and expressions suggesting the fatigue and satisfaction that come after the exertion of dancing.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, it is situated within the period when Gervex was actively producing works that reflected the social and cultural milieu of Paris. His paintings were often characterized by a sense of immediacy and intimacy, inviting viewers into private moments that reveal the character and mood of his subjects.

"After the Dance" would have been exhibited in the context of the Paris Salon or other exhibitions of the time, where Gervex's work was both celebrated and, at times, controversial due to his realistic portrayal of contemporary life. The painting is part of Gervex's broader oeuvre, which includes notable works such as "Rolla" (1878), which was rejected by the Paris Salon for its provocative content, and "A Session of the Painting Jury" (1885), which depicts the artist himself among the jury members.

As with many of Gervex's paintings, "After the Dance" reflects the artist's interest in capturing the fleeting moments of daily life, the interplay of society and individual, and the beauty found in ordinary experiences. The work is significant for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the documentation of the social history of the time.
