A set of four paintings (with P383, P386 and P397), now framed as two pairs, which was engraved by Filloeul in 1739 as 'Les plaisirs les plus ordinaires de la jeunesse' ('The little pleasures of youth'), each of which was accompanied by a sentimental poem by Charles Moraine explaining the amorous subject matter of the picture. The poem accompanying this particular scene is not known, but the picture obviously evokes the blindness of love through the depiction of Blind-Man’s Buff. The pictures may possibly be identified with the pastoral scenes attributed to Lancret which decorated the reverse of a screen bought by the 4th Marquess of Hertford at the Prouteau de Montlouis sale in 1851. The same screen incorporated four of Boucher’s mythological paintings in The Wallace Collection (see Boucher P429, P438, P444 and P432), and was believed in the nineteenth century to have belonged to Madame de Pompadour.
