and a woman holding a small child; one boy wears a cloth hat and shoes with pointed toes, possibly sabots or other clogs,
and a pile of these shoes lies to the side of the dancing girl, who appears to wear a different style of heeled shoe; the
rest of the children are barefoot, and the girls wear head-kerchiefs or coifs; the woman wears a dress with a broad skirt,
possibly a hoop skirt; more trees are visible in the distance.
