A fully mixed media work, the painting depicts a group of dancing skeletons, all holding hands with the exception of one who has fallen and cowers on the rocks. Another skeleton can be seen playing the violin on the mountain side, providing the music for the dance.
This is the original painting, a mixed media work, signed, executed c.1912, one of the rarest examples discovered by Jan Frans DeBoever. The painting resides within the original artists frame.
