This painting shows a village dance at night. Wooden houses glow under lantern light. People in simple clothes hold hands in a circle. The artist painted with quick, thick brushstrokes. It looks alive, like the music is almost audible. The colors are bright but soft, like firelight. You might compare this to works by Bruegel the Elder. See the energy he put into crowds. Check out the Museum of Ethnography.
