Sheet containing eight individual images, each measuring ca. 16 x 10 cm., separated by faintly printed line borders. They are placed head-to-head in two rows of four images. The eight female dancers, each depicted in an outdoor setting, wear rather generic balleticized versions of European folk costumes, with low-cut necklines, tightly corseted waists, and bell-shaped skirts. Two are portrayed in movement, one swirling a garland, the other a scarf.
