Dancing Children

Jane Palmer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures standing in full length. The figure on the left has long, curly brown hair and is dressed in a light dress with blue accents. This person is raising both arms as if holding a garland. To the right stands a child with long hair and a similar dress with blue stripes. The child has one hand raised. In the foreground, there is a tree and flowering plants on green, hilly terrain. The background shows a plain, light-colored sky.
