Italian Dancers is a 1850 ink by Henri Charles Antoine Baron, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a woman in fancy clothes sitting on a rock by a riverbank. Behind her, a group of dancers in flowing costumes performs under a bright sky. The trees and shadows are dark, but the dancers glow softly, like moonlight on water. The artist used rough, sketchy lines to show movement and light. The scene feels dreamy and full of energy.
