Portret van Marie Sallé in een tuin met tempel 1694 - 1755

This engraving, created by Nicolas de Larmessin between 1694 and 1755, portrays the famed dancer Marie Sallé in a picturesque garden setting. Dressed in an elaborate gown, she gracefully performs a dance as musicians play in the background. The scene, likely inspired by a theatrical performance, exemplifies the popularity of dance during the Rococo period, known for its elegant and playful aesthetic. The engraving, with its delicate lines and detailed depiction of the figures and surroundings, showcases Larmessin's mastery of this artistic form.
