The painting is called Dance in a Village Square by Luis Paret y Alcázar. It was made between 1770 and 1775. The artist used pen, black ink, and gray wash to create this work, which is a genre scene. This combination of media and technique is interesting because it allows for detailed and expressive drawings. You can learn more about this style at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
