拍品專文

George Smith Bradshaw designed this series based on images by Jean-Antoine Watteau (d. 1721) and Jean-Baptiste Joseph Pater (d. 1736).
The Dance is based on Watteau's Le Départ pour Cythère for the lady in front of the flute-player, the Fête Venitienne for the architecture and Le Passetemps, the L'Assemblée galante for the dancing couple, the La Perspective for the central couple, while most figures are taken from Pater's Fête in a Park in the Wallace Collection, D.S. MacColl, Bradshaw's Tapestries at Ham House, The Burlington Magazine, Oct 1917, pp. 148 - 157.
