About this work
Two scenes on a sheet. Above: A young couple holds masks. The scene is set in a round frame surrounded by two two-armed candelabras, rocaille ornaments, and masked figures. Below: A masked man and woman dance together. The woman wears a dress with stars, an allegory of the night; the man wears a hat with a radiant crown, an allegory of the day.
