Etched around 1637 in both a small- and a large-plate version — now held by institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Louvre — this print shows rustic figures dancing to music beneath a stand of trees while their herds graze nearby. It belongs to Claude Lorrain's genre pastorals, the lighter, sociable counterpart to his grander mythological and biblical landscapes, capturing everyday leisure in an idealized Roman countryside. That Claude reworked the subject across two separate plates and several states suggests how popular the composition was with collectors of his day.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. It was the first thing my mother noticed when she visited. The weave is tight enough to hold every bit of the detail. My mother has strong opinions about how a house should look, and even she liked this one. 🙂
I ordered one for myself and immediately started thinking about who else would want one. It was easy to find the right size on the product page, which saved me a return. There is a small imperfection near one edge that I have decided to like.
This is the second thing I have bought here and both have been good. I have wanted something by Lorrain in this house for years, and The Country Dance was the right pick…
It looks like something out of a museum shop, in the best possible way. It has made me appreciate The Country Dance more than I already did.
The reproduction quality is the best I have seen anywhere near this price. The clarity of The Country Dance makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday. Don’t think twice, just order it.
