The queen and Prince Albert both enjoyed dancing and entertaining, and they hosted many balls at Buckingham Palace, attended by thousands of guests. The French artist Lami specialised in such glamorous society scenes – Victoria and Albert first discovered his work when they were given a present by the French king of an album including watercolours by the artist.
