Lancret’s speciality was playful scenes showing well-dressed companies from the social elite of the day enjoying themselves. It was a type of subject launched by Watteau in the early 18th century, known as the fête galante – the courtship party. Lancret had been a pupil of Watteau and continued the tradition after his master’s death.
