The title *Minuet* points to a dance rather than a specific person or place, and the record gives no date for the print. The minuet was a formal couple dance in triple time that flourished in European courts and fashionable society from the late 1600s through the late 1700s, and it was a popular subject for printmakers showing elegant company. The shelflist card links the print to the name Arthur L. Cox, but the record marks that information as unverified, so the connection should be treated with caution. Costume and setting are the best clues for dating the image.
