Description

A woman is dancing and playing cymbals with her two outstretched arms. Her long hair flows behind her to the right and is crowned by a wreath of leaves. Her head is turned back to the right looking down at her right hand. The top of her dress is held by two broaches on either side of her neck leaving her arms bare and is cut irregularly ending at her waist. The bottom part of her dress extends all the way to her ankles. She is in motion standing on the toes of her left foot with her right foot held high and extending just outside the borderline of the print. The background is a grapevine inside of a rectangular frame. The artist's monogram appears in the left corner consisting of two U's for W, a large C, a picture of a crane, and 94 for the date. The artist's signature is under the right-hand border.
