"Elegant Company Dancing Before an Arbor" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), a painter known for his depictions of the French upper class and their leisure activities during the Régence and early reign of Louis XV. This work is characteristic of the fête galante genre, a term coined by the French Academy in 1717 to describe the scenes of elegant outdoor entertainments that became popular among French Rococo painters. Lancret, a student of the renowned Antoine Watteau, was instrumental in the development of this genre, which often featured figures in contemporary dress enjoying pastoral settings.

The painting portrays a group of well-dressed individuals partaking in a dance within a garden or parkland, beside an arbor. The scene is likely to be set in one of the pleasure gardens that were fashionable among the Parisian elite at the time. The composition typically showcases a mix of flirtation and playfulness, with an emphasis on the carefree lifestyle of the aristocracy. Lancret's work is noted for its lively brushwork, delicate color palette, and the ability to capture the light-hearted spirit of his subjects.

"Elegant Company Dancing Before an Arbor" exemplifies Lancret's skill in creating a harmonious and engaging narrative through his art. His paintings are significant for their historical portrayal of French social customs and fashions of the early 18th century. Today, Lancret's works are held in high esteem and can be found in major museums and collections worldwide, contributing valuable insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of his time.
