''La Danse'' is an 18th-century oil on canvas painting by French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), a prominent member of the Rococo movement known for his depictions of the French aristocracy's leisure activities. Created in 1724, the painting is a quintessential example of Lancret's work, showcasing a pastoral scene where elegantly dressed figures engage in a lively dance, a popular subject in Rococo art that reflects the era's fascination with pleasure, love, and outdoor festivities.

The painting measures 129.5 cm × 194.3 cm (51 in × 76.5 in) and is part of the Wallace Collection in London, a national museum in a historic townhouse that houses an extensive collection of fine and decorative arts from the 15th to the 19th centuries. ''La Danse'' is particularly noted for its vibrant portrayal of movement and the artist's skillful rendering of textiles and light, which contribute to the overall sense of joy and dynamism within the scene.

Lancret's work is often compared to that of his contemporary Antoine Watteau, with whom he shared a penchant for the fête galante genre—a category of painting depicting the outdoor amusements of French high society. However, Lancret's approach is distinguished by a more pronounced emphasis on narrative and character interaction within his compositions. ''La Danse'' exemplifies this narrative quality, as the viewer's eye is led through the canvas by the interplay of figures and the flow of their garments.

This painting not only serves as a significant example of Lancret's artistic output but also provides insight into the cultural and social milieu of the Regency period in France. It captures the essence of a society that, despite political and economic challenges, indulged in the pursuit of pleasure and the celebration of the arts. ''La Danse'' remains an important work for scholars studying the Rococo era and the evolution of French painting in the early 18th century.
