Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Selected Drawings From Old Masters in the University Galleries and in the Library at Christ Church, Oxford, Vol. 5
From the back of the same sheet as the above. To the left a girl, dancing in from the left with her drapery held only by a narrow belt or cord about the waist and ?ying so as to leave her almost bare, tosses up her head and arms and clashes a pair of cymbals. To the right, another facing her with body and head thrown back and arms advanced, plays on the tambourine: her drapery ?ies loose also, making a full arched fold behind her shoulders; another fold passing over her chest conceals, and is caught up by, a cord about her waist: the artist seems to have misunderstood his original here, so that the drawing looks confused.
