Many of these were disseminated through reproductive prints—which in the words of the artist’s contemporary Voltaire offered \"eternal life\" to painters. These skillful examples treat as a pair two solitary and self-contained figures absorbed in moments of play and leisure. Echoing each other in format and composition, the canvases were probably conceived as pendants, although they were exhibited four years apart. </P>\r\nLike many such prints after Chardin’s genre paintings, these are accompanied by verses, often written by friends of the artist.

The verses below the other print beseech the woman to warm her heart and sweeten her mood toward her suitor.
