About the piece

Painted around 1730 by Nicolas Lancret, this lively Rococo scene captures the celebrated French dancer La Camargo. The composition is a classic 'fête galante,' featuring a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow within a theatrical forest setting, where courtly observers watch the dancer's graceful movement.
