The drawing is on gessoed cardboard in gilt-edged frame of unpolished pear wood. It is 9 cm x 14 cm in size.

This small, dark charcoal drawing, in a slightly skewed high-angle perspective shows a shadowy large ballroom, or perhaps a stage-set of a ballroom (an impression reinforced by the odd, opera box-like perspective).  Dozens of masked dancers appear to have been interrupted in mid-step.  They turn, in a fashion that suggests both longing and apprehension, toward a tall white figure, which has apparently just entered from the right side of the picture.

On the back of the drawing, in lavender ink oxidized to a dark purple is the inscription, "Mon cher Jean, Bonne annee 1884  --Odile"

A small seal on the lower right-hand corner of the rear of the frame bears the coat of arms of the Des Essientes family.
