The Country Dance is a 1760 oil by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, a Rococo painting work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting depicts a lively outdoor scene, with people dancing and socializing in a rustic setting. The scene is set in a rural area, with trees and a stone wall visible in the background. The figures are dressed in 18th-century attire, with men wearing tricorn hats and women wearing long dresses. In the foreground, a couple is dancing, while others sit or stand around them, watching or chatting. The atmosphere appears to be joyful and carefree, with the dancers lost in the music and the moment. The use of warm colors and soft lighting adds to the sense of warmth and intimacy in the scene. The painting is held at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
