A Dancer Balances a Bottle

c. 1770

Chester Beatty

Chester Beatty
Dublin, Ireland

‘As far as the eye can see’ is the phrase that immediately springs to mind when looking at this beautiful painting. The main event may be the young woman in the foreground dancing while deftly balancing a full bottle on her head, but it is the enclosed gardens spread out behind her that catch the eye, drawing it farther and farther into the distance.
