Original Description
Arthur Wardle’s After The Ball is a captivating glimpse into the late Victorian aesthetic, blending realism with a touch of romanticism. The painting depicts two elegantly dressed women in evening gowns, accompanied by a pair of Borzoi dogs, against a softly lit interior or garden setting. Wardle’s meticulous attention to texture—the delicate lace, flowing silk, and the dogs’ glistening coats—creates a rich sensory experience, evoking an air of refined leisure. Painted in the late 19th or early 20th century, it reflects the era’s fascination with beauty, fashion, and the luxurious lifestyles of the upper class. Wardle, renowned for his animal portraiture and genre scenes, positions this work as a bridge between academic realism and emerging modern sensibilities. Though not revolutionary, After The Ball remains significant for its craftsmanship and as a charming artifact of its time, often appealing to admirers of narrative-driven, representational art.
For interior decor, After The Ball would elevate a formal living room, study, or boutique office space. Its warm, muted tones—creams, golds, and deep browns—pair beautifully with traditional or transitional interiors, especially when framed in an ornate gilt or wood frame to complement its vintage charm. Hang it at eye level in a well-lit area, ideally near a seating arrangement or fireplace, to create a focal point. Smaller reproductions (around 24x30 inches) suit intimate spaces, while larger formats command attention in grander rooms. Style it alongside velvet upholstery, antique brass accents, or botanical prints to harmonize with its genteel aesthetic. For a contemporary twist, contrast it with minimalist furniture—letting the painting’s narrative richness stand out against clean lines.
