The inscription on the frame reads, "The city of Paris invested entrusts to the air its call to France" emphasizing the significance and symbolism behind this artwork. In the painting, we see a woman standing on the ramparts, holding a musket in one hand while raising her other hand towards a balloon floating high overhead.

Painted in 1870 with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 1.36 x 0.86 meters and is currently housed at Musee D Orsay in Paris. The artist's inscription further emphasizes that Paris has entrusted its message to be carried through the skies. The composition of this artwork beautifully captures both strength and vulnerability. The woman's determined stance with a bayonet signifies resilience and courage, while her gaze towards the sky suggests hope for change or assistance from above. Overall, Puvis De Chavannes' "The Ball" serves as a poignant reminder of historical events and highlights how art can convey profound messages about society's aspirations and struggles.
