This is an epic scene that ensues from memory: a mental imprint transferred onto canvas. There are several features that support this thesis. First, the green grassy surface lacks detail — such smudged representations usually echo from the dreamy, simplified and reduced to a few principal details reminiscences. Second, there is the focus on the orange dress and the central couple as one of those details that deserve the maximal attention; the rest dance in the background as a visual accompaniment, or a sort of a filler. Finally, the two women on the edges manifest possible emotional developments of the central female dancer. As it often occurs in dreams and memories, the mind clones the protagonist into several alter-actors; I believe that these two girls embody the orange dressed lady’s fears and hopes, one being of death or abandonment, expressed by mourning (the black dress), the other of matrimony and happiness (the white dress).
