About this work

This image shows a woman in a big, fancy dress dancing in the center. Around her, four other people are playing music—two women with instruments, two boys, and a girl holding a harp. The scene looks like a garden with trees and a building in the background. The woman’s dress has lots of ruffles and layers, and everyone looks like they’re enjoying themselves. The whole image is drawn in a way that looks smooth but detailed, like it was made with a special tool. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create these kinds of prints.
