    • Medium: Etchings, Aquatints, Hand coloring
    • Depiction: Monsieur and his family are probably professional dancers, and the picture introduces us to their more intimate hours of practicing. At all events we find nearly the entire generation giving up their energies to the practice of the one accompli.
