"A Dance in the Summer House" is a painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), who was renowned for his depictions of the French aristocracy engaging in leisurely activities. This work, painted in the Rococo style, captures a scene of elegant figures dancing and socializing in a pastoral setting, a theme commonly found in Lancret's oeuvre. The painting is characterized by its light-hearted atmosphere, fluid brushwork, and a palette of soft, pastel colors that contribute to the overall sense of gaiety and refinement.

Lancret was a contemporary of Antoine Watteau, and like Watteau, he was associated with the fête galante genre, which portrayed outdoor entertainments of the upper classes. "A Dance in the Summer House" exemplifies this genre, showcasing the artist's ability to create intricate compositions that are both lively and harmonious. The summer house in the painting serves as a focal point around which the figures are arranged, their movements and interactions suggesting the rhythms and patterns of dance.

The painting is notable for its detailed representation of the costumes and social customs of the time, providing a window into the leisurely pursuits of 18th-century French society. Lancret's work was highly appreciated during his lifetime and "A Dance in the Summer House" is considered one of his significant contributions to the Rococo movement. It reflects the artist's skill in capturing the transient moments of pleasure that were valued by his patrons and the era he lived in.

As a celebrated artist of his time, Lancret's paintings were often collected by the French nobility, and his works can be found in various museums and private collections around the world. "A Dance in the Summer House" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and social milieu of 18th-century France.
