"Fandango," from the "National Dances" series, is a colorful and lively depiction of a woman in traditional Spanish dress, performing a lively fandango dance. Created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889 as a collectible card, the illustration captures the energy and grace of the dance, featuring intricate details in the woman's costume, including a lace veil and a vibrant yellow and black skirt. This card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases the artistic style popular in late-19th-century American commercial art.
