Good condition.
This piece depicts a group of people, clasping hands and dancing in a circular formation while others watch nearby. Rodin conveys the figures in soft, loosely sketched lines, paying special attention to the musculature of their nude forms rather than conveying their distinct facial features or garb. According to Thorson, this piece is a 3rd state (of 3), published in "L'Art et les Artistes".
