About this work

This sketch shows a group of people dancing in loose, flowing poses. The lines are quick and rough, like a quick sketch rather than a finished drawing. The paper is light beige, and the drawing is done in what looks like pencil or charcoal. The artist left some notes in the corners, including their name and the date "3/2 Septembre." The drawing feels alive but unfinished, as if the artist was working fast to capture the movement. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works by this artist.
