"Retour de bal" (Return from the Ball) is a painting by the French artist Henri Gervex, created in the late 19th century. Gervex, known for his realistic portrayals of Parisian life, captures a moment of intimate, nocturnal elegance in this work. The painting depicts a young woman being assisted by a maid as she returns from a ball, a common social event of the era. The subject's attire and the interior setting reflect the opulence and fashion of Parisian high society during the Belle Époque.

Henri Gervex (1852–1929) was a Parisian painter who gained notoriety for his works that often combined modern life subjects with a refined and sometimes provocative aesthetic. His paintings frequently featured the demimonde and the bourgeoisie, capturing the spirit and culture of his time. "Retour de bal" is emblematic of Gervex's style, which blends academic technique with a modern sensibility, and it contributes to the visual documentation of the social customs of his period.

While "Retour de bal" is not as widely known as some of Gervex's other works, such as "Rolla" or "Cinq Heures Chez Paquin," it nonetheless offers insight into the artist's thematic interests and his ability to convey narrative through visual means. The painting's composition, use of light, and attention to detail exemplify Gervex's skill in creating scenes that are both realistic and evocative.

As with many of Gervex's paintings, "Retour de bal" is likely to be held in a private collection or a museum, contributing to the cultural heritage of French art. The work is significant for its artistic merit and for its portrayal of the social dynamics and fashion of the time, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the cultural history of the late 19th century.
