Title The painting "Dance of the Nymphs" by Corot, depicting women dancing in the woods, [s.d.]

Description Photograph of the painting "Dance of the Nymphs" by Corot, depicting women dancing in the woods, [s.d.]. The women are seen from a distance in several groups; in the left foreground, a circle of four of the women wearing short-sleeved summer dresses dances around a naked fifth woman, who sits on the ground, apparently disoriented. Farther back and a little right, three women can be seen in similar dresses which appear to expose a single breast. The rightmost of these women holds a staff in the air. In the shadows at the far left, figures that appear to be male may or may not be satyrs while to the far right foreground, two final women can be seen, one leading the other from the shadows by the hand. It also appears as though flowers and leaves are blowing in the wind.
