About the piece
In this 1738 oil painting, Nicolas Lancret captures a moment of elegant sociability typical of the Rococo 'fête galante' style. Three figures are gathered in a tranquil wooded landscape, their shimmering silk garments—including a striking blue-striped dress and vibrant pink attire—reflecting the soft, diffused light of the forest clearing.
