These works feature elegant aristocrats in leisurely settings, often in a stage-like atmosphere, and incorporate motifs from the Commedia dell'arte, like Harlequin and Pierrot. The widespread popularity of these figures, in styles like rococo painting and porcelain decoration, stems from their reproduction as etchings and prints, notably by Jean de Jullienne.
