Design with Dancing Figures 1805 - 1840

"Design with Dancing Figures" is a pencil drawing by William Pitts, created between 1805 and 1840. The piece is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and features a delicate, sketchy style with a focus on movement. The artist uses light, flowing lines to depict figures dancing in a seemingly whimsical or ethereal setting, with a distinct emphasis on the intertwined limbs and bodies of the figures. While the subject matter is left open to interpretation, the piece hints at a sense of joy and freedom within its design.
