About the piece

Painted in 1867, this work exemplifies Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's late style, where figures and landscapes dissolve into a poetic, hazy atmosphere. A group of dancers performs in a woodland clearing that opens toward a distant, glowing horizon, showcasing the artist's mastery of light and delicate, airy foliage.
