About this work

This painting shows five young women in a circle, holding hands. They're in a garden with trees and flowers, wearing long dresses in shades of white, brown, and green. The women seem to be dancing, but they're not moving. The painting has a lot of detail, like the folds in their dresses and the leaves on the trees. The artist, Louis Janmot, used oil paint to create this artwork, which is held at the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
