- Abstract
-
"A couple dance in an assembly-room; the man, active and dishevelled, smaller than his immensely fat partner, holds the ends of a large spotted handkerchief, since it is impossible to grasp her waist. In the background are two other couples. A chandelier and a corner of the musicians' gallery with a man blowing a French horn complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue
