To the upper right, the illustrious author and dramatist, Theophile Gautier, graces the gathering with his presence. The guests, dressed in elaborate costumes and masks, are grouped in small clusters, engaged in animated conversations and laughter. The atmosphere is filled with the spirit of social delight and artistic flair, as the guests revel in the anonymity provided by their masks. This redoute offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Parisian high society during the late 19th century, where literature, art, and social gatherings intertwined in a captivating dance of creativity and pleasure. Arsene Houssaye, the host of this memorable event, was a central figure in the Parisian literary scene, known for his influential role in promoting the works of contemporary writers. The presence of such luminaries at his home further solidified his reputation as a tastemaker and trendsetter. This redoute, with its intricate details and historical significance, serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the late 19th century and the enduring allure of the Parisian social scene.
