"The Masked Ball at the Galerie des Glaces on the Occasion of the Marriage of the Dauphin to Marie-Therese, 17th February 1745" is an exquisite engraving by the French artist Charles-Nicolas II Cochin. This artwork captures a grandiose event held in the opulent Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors) at the Palace of Versailles, celebrating the nuptials of Louis, Dauphin of France, and Maria Teresa Rafaela of Spain. The marriage was a significant political alliance, and the masked ball was one of the many lavish festivities organized to honor this union.

Cochin, renowned for his detailed and precise engravings, was commissioned to document this illustrious occasion. His work provides a vivid portrayal of the splendor and extravagance characteristic of the French court under King Louis XV. The engraving meticulously depicts the ornate architectural details of the Hall of Mirrors, with its grand chandeliers, gilded moldings, and reflective surfaces, which amplify the sense of opulence.

The scene is populated with elegantly dressed courtiers, adorned in elaborate costumes and masks, engaging in the festivities. The masked ball, a popular form of entertainment in the 18th century, allowed participants to indulge in a night of mystery and revelry, temporarily shedding their social identities. Cochin's attention to detail extends to the intricate designs of the costumes and the animated expressions of the attendees, capturing the lively and celebratory atmosphere of the event.

This engraving not only serves as a historical record of a significant royal celebration but also as a testament to the artistic and cultural grandeur of the French Rococo period. Cochin's work is appreciated for its technical mastery and its ability to convey the elegance and sophistication of the French aristocracy. Today, it remains a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of French history, offering a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle and ceremonial practices of the 18th-century French court.
