"Mademoiselle de Camargo Dancing" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), depicting the celebrated ballerina Marie Anne de Cupis de Camargo (1710–1770), commonly known as La Camargo. Lancret, a prominent painter of the Rococo period, was known for his genre scenes of courtly life, often capturing the leisure activities of the French aristocracy and the burgeoning bourgeoisie. This particular work is a testament to Lancret's fascination with the theatre and dance, subjects that frequently appeared in his oeuvre.

The painting portrays La Camargo mid-dance, showcasing her renowned skills that made her a star of the Paris Opéra. She is depicted in a pastoral setting, a common motif in Rococo art, which often idealized the harmony between humans and nature. La Camargo's dynamic pose and the fluidity of her garments convey a sense of movement, reflecting Lancret's ability to capture the liveliness of his subjects. The dancer's attire is also of note; La Camargo was famous for shortening her skirts to better showcase her footwork, a sartorial choice that is highlighted in Lancret's representation.

"Mademoiselle de Camargo Dancing" not only celebrates the artistry of dance but also serves as a cultural artifact, providing insight into the aesthetics and social mores of 18th-century France. Lancret's painting is an important work within his artistic canon and contributes to the broader understanding of Rococo art and its preoccupation with pleasure, performance, and the depiction of contemporary life.

The painting is held in various collections, and its provenance, critical reception, and influence on both the art world and the perception of dance during the Rococo period have been subjects of scholarly interest. As an artwork, it continues to be studied for its technical merits, historical context, and its role in immortalizing one of the most famous dancers of the early modern period.
