- Summary
- Depiction of a ball under a tent or awning, with trees in the background. Four women and three men, with oversized heads and exaggerated facial features and bodies, are engaged in various interactions: at left, a man invites a young woman to dance, while her mother or chaperon looks on; at center, a couple is dancing, flanked by a man and a woman. Two male musicians play on an elevated stand. The back views of a bonneted woman and a man are visible in the distance.
