Description: | A young girl is presented on the left and the tall figure of the dancing master stoops down to instruct her. The elegant poses of the dancing figures are mirrored by the postures and dress of the group who sit and watch the lesson. This elegant scene is typical of the work of Nollekens, who developed the style of Watteau into depictions of society such as this, which appealed to the early eighteenth-century audience. | Subjects: | figure; interior; everyday life (dancing lesson) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Nollekens, Joseph Frans (Flemish painter, 1706-1748, active in England) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8340... | Go to resource |
