About the piece
Painted around 1729, this work by Nicolas Lancret epitomizes the French Rococo 'fête galante' style. Figures in luminous silks are captured in a moment of carefree leisure, set against a backdrop of soft, atmospheric foliage that invites the viewer into a romanticized world of 18th-century social grace.
