Abstract: "Copy of a French print. Two fantastically dressed couples dance, but in different manners. One pair (left) dance side by side, the man's right arm on his partner's waist, her left arm on his shoulder. The other couple face each other, the lady leaning outwards, hands on her partner's shoulders, while his left hand touches the back of her shoulder."--British Museum online catalogue
