"A Woman Seen From Behind, Looking Into a Magic Box" is a painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), who was known for his depictions of the French upper class and their leisure activities during the Rococo period. This particular work is characteristic of Lancret's style, which often included light-hearted and gallant scenes inspired by the theatre, fêtes galantes, and the pastoral genre. The painting portrays a woman, viewed from behind, peering into a 'magic box' – a device that could be a reference to contemporary optical amusements such as the peepshow box or the camera obscura, which were popular in the 18th century.

The composition of the painting, with its attention to the details of the woman's attire and the surrounding environment, reflects the Rococo taste for elegance, charm, and the play of light. Lancret's work is often compared to that of his contemporary Antoine Watteau, although Lancret's paintings are typically less melancholic and more decorative in nature.

As a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, Lancret's contributions to French art were significant, and his works were collected by patrons including Louis XV and Frederick the Great of Prussia. "A Woman Seen From Behind, Looking Into a Magic Box" exemplifies Lancret's skill in capturing the zeitgeist of his era, offering a glimpse into the pastimes and fascinations of the 18th-century French aristocracy.

The painting's provenance, current location, and critical reception over time would provide further context to its significance within Lancret's oeuvre and the broader scope of Rococo art. However, due to the specific nature of this request, such details are not included in this introduction.
