Printed with shades of black and gray, five people dance as a man plays the fiddle in a cramped room in this vertical lithograph. Closest to us, the fiddler sits on a wooden stool to the right. He has a long neck, a prominent Adam’s apple, and a pencil mustache, and his mouth hangs slack. He wears a wide-brimmed, high-crowned hat, a white, long-sleeved shirt, overalls, and rounded shoes. Bracing the fiddle against his chest, he lifts one foot. A pail next to the stool holds another bow. The room beyond the fiddler telescopes, with the far wall seeming close to us, the floor angling sharply up, and the ceiling careening down to meet the far wall. A lantern above hangs at an angle. A man and woman dancing together take up most of the left half of the composition. The woman looks up at the man smiling, and she wears a long dark dress with short, puffed sleeves. The man wraps one arm around her narrow waist, and they lift the entwined fingers of their other hands high. The man’s short hair is parted down the middle, and he wears a button-up, long-sleeved white shirt, trousers, and a belt. Two women and a man dance in the shallow space behind this couple. The corner of an area rug edges into the scene and under the planted foot of the fiddler. The artist’s name, “Benton,” is inscribed on the printing stone in the lower left corner and written in graphite in the lower right.
