Girls Dancing on Lawn
c. 1920

Impressionistic painting depicting a lively outdoor scene with a group of dancers in the foreground, their dresses appearing to blend with flames. Onlookers gather in a shelter to the right, while a crowd of spectators fills the background. The setting is vibrant with broad strokes of green on the ground and a multitude of colors suggesting a festive atmosphere.
