A Highland Dance (c.1780). David Allan (Scottish, 1744-1796). Brush and watercolour over pencil on paper. National Galleries of Scotland.The graceful pose of the female dancer to the right of the central group suggests that Allan was influenced by the classical figures that he encountered during the ten years that he lived in Rome. His natural ability for making rapid sketches of figures and costumes meant that he was often in demand as an illustrator of local festivals and events. -- source link
