About the piece
Created around 1735 by Marcellus Laroon the Younger, this work captures a 'fête galante' atmosphere where high society mingles with characters from the Commedia dell'Arte. The deep, moody greens of the forest backdrop provide a dramatic stage for the luminous costumes of the figures, creating a sense of mystery and elegant theatricality.
