This means "Ball [as in "dance"] of the
windmill of the galette [kind of like a pancake]" and it's a painting by
Pierre-Auguste Renoir that is currently at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.
It's one of many paintings from the
Impressionist period that I've enjoyed seeing there and depicts a very everyday
snapshot of the Montmartre region in Paris, which you may know for some of its
other landmarks, such as the Basilica of the Sacred Heart (Basilique du Sacré Cœur)
and the Moulin
Rouge (the Red Windmill).
