About the piece
Created by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand in 1839, this oil study captures a Roman woman from behind as she moves in dance. The work highlights the vibrant contrast between her deep blue bodice and flowing yellow skirt, demonstrating the artist's keen interest in the costumes and daily life of Italy during the Golden Age of Danish painting.
