A Native Dance

William Hogarth

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of seven figures in a ring dance, holding hands in a circular formation. They are dressed in flowing robes with detailed patterns and folds. The scene is set outdoors with trees on the right side and mountains and clouds in the distance. The drawing features intricate linework, particularly in the trees and clothing textures. The clouds and sky add depth to the composition.
