Spaniard Eduardo Garrido produced history and costume paintings during his career. Here we see his “Dance Performance”, a scene set in the 1700’s, as was often the case in nineteenth-century genre art since the previous century seemed simpler, moral, and untrammeled by technology and modern life. This canvas is a delightful swirl of pastels suggesting music and movement.
