Dance in the Country (La danse à la campagne)

Auguste Renoir

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man and a woman dancing closely together outdoors. The woman has her arm around the man's shoulder, leaning towards him with her eyes closed. She has long hair with flowers or ribbons and wears a flowing dress with decorative elements. The man holds her waist with one arm and their other hands are clasped. He wears a striped jacket and a hat that partially covers his face, revealing a bit of beard on his chin. The background features sketchy, textured vegetation.
