About the piece

Painted around 1719 by Jean-Antoine Watteau, this masterpiece captures the 'fête galante'—a genre showing the aristocracy at play in parkland settings. The composition centers on a woman in a shimmering white gown dancing in a lush, theatrical garden, surrounded by figures in exquisite period dress and a classical fountain statue.
