A couple dance in an assembly-room. The man, active and disheveled, smaller than his immensely fat partner, holds the ends of a large spotted handkerchief, since it is impossible to grasp her waist. In the background are two other couples. A chandelier and a corner of the musicians' gallery with a man blowing a French horn complete the design (BM). / This was intended for a quiz upon the then foreign dance, waltzing, somewhat like the foregoing upon foreign dress. It may be easily distinguished as the work of an amateur (Wright/Evans).
