Cochin depicted the performance form an unusual viewpoint, giving equal attention to the actors on an elaborate set – including the king’s mistress, Madame de Pompadour - as to the lively audience I the playhouse. Indeed, this is the only work of art that records the appearance of the short-lived Rococo theatre.
