"Dancer Camargo" is a celebrated painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), a prominent figure in the Rococo movement known for his depictions of the gallant court life of his time. Created in the 18th century, specifically around 1730, this artwork captures the elegance and vivacity of the ballet dancer Marie Camargo, showcasing the artist's adeptness at portraying movement and the intricate details of the subject's attire.

Marie Camargo, born in 1710, was a renowned figure in the Paris Opéra Ballet, famous for her technical skill, particularly her ability to execute rapid footwork with precision. She revolutionized ballet by shortening her skirt to reveal her ankles, which was considered daring at the time, and allowed for greater freedom of movement. This change is thoughtfully depicted in Lancret's painting, highlighting not only her skill and grace as a dancer but also her role in the evolution of ballet costume.

Nicolas Lancret's "Dancer Camargo" is a testament to the artist's fascination with the Parisian leisure class and his ability to capture the spirit of the Rococo era. The painting is characterized by its light-hearted and playful atmosphere, typical of Lancret's work, with a keen attention to the details of fabric, gesture, and setting that brings the scene to life. The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, offering insight into 18th-century ballet, fashion, and social customs.

Today, "Dancer Camargo" is held in high esteem within the art world, celebrated for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance. It remains a pivotal work for scholars studying the Rococo period, dance history, and the evolution of fashion in the arts. The painting is preserved in the collection of the Wallace Collection in London, where it continues to enchant visitors with its beauty and historical depth.
