'LA DANSE CHAMPETRE.'(The Country Dance.) Amid the trees, a group of villagers play music while a couple dances. A toddler copies the lady's motions, entertaining the company. Rather than the usual contemporary association with debauchery, music here alludes to social harmony and order. The musicians glance coyly at the viewer,…actors very aware of their spectators.Made by Nicolas Colibert after Mayer.Medium: Etching / Engraving on hand laid (verge) paper.Sheet size: 44.2 x 37.2 cm (17.4 x 14.65 inch).
