A study for one of the figures in Danse dans un pavillon, a painting in the collection of Frederick the Great at Charlottenburg (inv. GK I 4186; Tavener Holmes, op. cit., no. 55). In the drawing Lancret took great care to depict the pleading expression on the kneeling man’s face; in the painting he is asking a woman to dance. In the sale catalogue of 1964 (Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 6 November 1964, lot 64) the drawing on the verso had been connected to Lancret’s Le moulinet devant la charmille (Schloss Charlottenburg, inv. GK I 4188), which is a pendant to Danse dans un pavillon.
