This behind-the-scenes image shows the danseur Massine waiting to go on stage in Cochran's revue, On With the Dance, at the London Pavillion, 1925. The performance was scene 7 of the revue, choreographed by Massine, an adaptation of Hogarth's series of paintings A Rake's Progress, simply entitled The Rake.

The scene was painted by Gluck, an artist well-known in the 1920s and 30s for their portraits and floral paintings. They chose to be only known only as Gluck, distancing themselves from their society family, whom they scandalised with their exclusively male attire and lesbian relationships. Identifying with no artistic school or movement, they exhibited their work only in solo exhibitions, where they were displayed in a special frame Gluck invented and patented. The "Gluck frame" extended from the wall in three tiers; painted or papered to match the wall on which it hung, the paintings became part of the architecture of the room. This painting is in a white-painted Gluck frame not visible in the image.
