The date "83" evokes the prestigious lineage of Thoroughbreds descended from the legendary racehorse Northern Dancer, who had a direct offspring named Mysterious Dancer born in 1983, and whose lineage includes many champions with similar names.

Nearly all direct descendants of this royal racing line have raced or been trained on the tracks of Chantilly. The owners of these very valuable horses consistently commissioned a pastel portrait.
