Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
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.
