"Dernière Retouche Avant Le Bal" (Final Touch Before the Ball) is a celebrated painting by the French artist Henri Gervex, completed in 1879. Gervex, a prominent figure in the late 19th-century French art scene, is known for his adeptness in capturing the elegance and sophistication of Parisian society. This particular work exemplifies his skill in portraying the intimate and preparatory moments of high society life.

The painting depicts a young woman in an opulent interior, receiving the final touches to her attire before attending a grand ball. The scene is set in a richly decorated room, with luxurious furnishings and a large mirror that reflects the meticulous attention to detail in her appearance. The woman, dressed in an elaborate gown, is attended by a maid who adjusts her dress, ensuring that every aspect of her ensemble is perfect. The composition of the painting is carefully balanced, with the figures and objects arranged to draw the viewer's eye towards the central subject.

Gervex's use of light and color in "Dernière Retouche Avant Le Bal" is particularly noteworthy. The soft, diffused lighting creates a sense of intimacy and warmth, highlighting the textures of the fabrics and the delicate features of the woman's face. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of the wallpaper, the sheen of the satin dress, and the subtle play of light on the various surfaces within the room.

This painting is a quintessential example of Gervex's ability to capture the essence of Belle Époque elegance and the rituals of preparation that were an integral part of the social fabric of the time. It reflects the artist's keen observation of contemporary life and his talent for rendering it with both technical precision and a sense of narrative. "Dernière Retouche Avant Le Bal" remains a significant work in Gervex's oeuvre, celebrated for its beauty, craftsmanship, and insight into the cultural milieu of late 19th-century France.
