Galant dance couple consisting of two individual figures. The female dancer wears rural Rococo clothing: a long, striped skirt with a bodice, a fitted vest over it, a flowered apron, which she holds up at the ends with her arms stretched out to the side, and a hat tied over a cloth on her head. The figure is supported by a rock and is based on a round meadow base with plastic flowers and gold-enhanced rocailles. The male dancer also wears the finest Rococo clothing: white frock coat over a flowered waistcoat, matching his partner's apron, breeches and buckled shoes, and a tricorne hat. Like the lady dancer, the figure is supported from behind by a rock and is based on a flat meadow base with sculpted flowers.
