This print by Antoine Jean Duclos is based on a drawing by Augustin de Saint-Aubin that was exhibited in the Salon of 1773 (no.291). The pendant, Le Bal paré, is also in the museum’s collection. A group of musicians play for an elegant audience in a large oval salon with a painted ceiling and female busts on pedestals between the windows. The design is surrounded by an ornamental trompe-l’oeil frame with a dedication and a coat of arms. The print was advertised for sale, with its pendant, "Le Concert," in 1774.
