Beschreibung:

Hand-colored etching with aquatint. 19.6x29 cm (7¾x11½"); matted: 44.4x52.2 cm (17½x20¾"). Titled at top, with legend at bottom "Milord mis, puisque vous dansez avec un autre, marche nul, rendez mois mes arrlrea! ..... Miss_ Ah! Milord, que vous nous connaissez mal, nous sommes allichees, une fois la toile levee nous ne rendons plus l'argent." A bulky Englishman with a dog in his pocket is addressed by a dancer, while her lover hides behind a long mirror. This print is a generic satire pointed toward the wealthy, middle-aged English theater-going man who found delight in beautiful French dancers. The artist is identified as Jean Baptiste Gautier, who was known for his caricatures, decorative fans, calendars, and portraits of notables such as Louis XVIIII and Mme Talma. The British Museum notes that this print was listed in the Bibliographie de France on December 30, 1815 by Gauthier.
