English: The poster captivating the attention of these fashionable ladies is an advertisement for one of Paris’ more popular establishments, Bal Mabille. Here, the Parisians went to dance under artificial palm trees, ride roundabouts and buy refreshments – illuminated by 3,000 gas lights. It was here, also, that can-can was introduced to the French audience in the 1840s. The Swedish artist Höckert, who lived in Paris in 1851–57, was probably well-acquainted with Bal Mabille and its temptations – as the subtitle of this painting (Tentation) suggests. Affischen som fångat dessa moderiktiga damers uppmärksamhet gör reklam för ett av Paris populäraste nöjesetablissemang – Bal Mabille. Här kunde parisarna dansa under konstgjorda palmer, åka karusell och köpa förfriskningar – allt under ljuset av 3,000 gaslampor. Här introducerades vid 1800-talets mitt cancan-dansen för den franska publiken. Den svenske konstnären Johan Fredrik Höckert, som bodde i Paris 1851–1857, kände säkert väl till Bal Mabille och dess lockelser – målningen bär nämligen undertiteln Tentation (Frestelse).
