This painting shows a woman in a flowing white dress with red spots on it, dancing. She wears a wide-brimmed hat and holds a fan in one hand. The background is dark and blurry, with another person’s face barely visible. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors pop. The red spots on her dress look like they’re painted with quick, bold strokes—almost like splashes. It gives the whole scene a lively, energetic feel, as if you can almost hear the music. If you like this style, check out the technique: impasto.
