The fortunate occasion.
Oil on panel.
27 x 37 cm.
Gilded wood and plaster frame with rocaille decoration (accidents, small missing parts).
This composition was engraved by Scotin II circa 1718-1729 after a lost work by Nicolas Lancret, as a counterpart to Charmes de la conversation (see G. Wildenstein, Lancret, Paris, 1924, no. 275, reproduced fig. 70).

"A l'ombre de ces bois pour danser à son tour
Iris stretches out her lovely hand to her shepherd
Tirsis to take advantage of the favorable moment
clasps it and declares his love for her....".
