invite a lady to dance Painting by Svetlana Ostrovskaya

Painting: Oil, Color on Canvas.

A girl from high society of the end of XIX age in a ball gown. The image speaks of aristocracy and refinement of manners. The painting is written in oil in a saturated color palette.

Large strokes and the dynamics of the folds of the dress create a sense of willingness to accept the invitation to dance. Even the bend of the hand is subject to this design.
