Matrosbal 1909

"Matrosbal" (1909) by Eugène Jansson, a Swedish painter, depicts a lively scene of sailors dancing with women at a seaside gathering. The painting captures the joyous atmosphere of the event with a vibrant palette of blues and yellows. The loose brushstrokes and simplified forms contribute to the impressionistic style, emphasizing the energy and movement of the dance. The background, adorned with flags and a hazy sky, suggests a festive celebration.
