Dance at the Moulin Rouge

ID: #5025 | Postimpressionism | People

The painting shows a scene from a dance hall full of people in period clothing. In the centre is a pair of dancers, a man and a woman in motion, seemingly dancing the cancan, surrounded by other people. The woman in the foreground on the right is facing the viewer, dressed in a pink dress and hat. The work has a dynamic effect and is strongly lit, adding to the atmosphere of the ballroom. The painter used quick brushstrokes that give the composition a liveliness.
