Frieze with Dancing Figures (decorative panel) is a 1865 oil by Francis Wollaston Moody, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a line of figures dancing and playing instruments. They're all nude or mostly nude, and they're all connected, holding hands or touching each other. The background is dark, so the figures stand out. One of the figures is playing a pan flute, which is a fun detail. The whole scene feels lively and joyful.
