The Dance is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see people dancing in a circle, surrounded by trees and a few buildings. The dancers are dressed in fancy clothes, and they seem to be having fun. This painting is interesting because it shows a moment of joy and freedom, which was rare in art at that time. To learn more about this style, look at the technique: etching.
