A watercolor of joyous village festivity with music playing and dancing people by Walter Goodall, signed and dated 1862. In the foreground, a young girl in a white dress dances with a younger man, her red hat held aloft, surrounded by villagers singing, playing instruments, drinking, and feasting. To the right, a young mother sits turned away from us, her child in her lap, watching another couple dancing further back. The scene exudes warmth, camaraderie, and the simple pleasures of country life. The scene probably taken from one of Goodalls trips to Italy.
