About this work

An 18th-century style salon filled with costumed figures in period dress, including a woman in a white gown dancing at center and a harlequin-clad musician playing a lute at right. A crystal chandelier, gilded paneling and a tall arched window frame the scene, and small dogs lie on the patterned carpet. The painting is titled Actors Before a Performance, created by Constant Wauters in 1851 and held by the Hermitage Museum.
