The Country Dance by Walter Shirlaw depicts a black-and-white drawing of a group of people in a room. The scene shows a crowd of people standing and sitting. A woman in a long dress and a man are in the center of the room. The woman faces left and the man faces right; they hold hands. The room has a fireplace on the left wall with a mantel above it. On the right wall is a candelabra with four candles. A woman sits on a bench to the left of the couple. The background shows a table with people seated around it. The overall atmosphere appears to be a social gathering or party. The drawing style is impressionistic with visible lines and shading.
