Capturing a festive scene of traditionally garbed Spanish dancers in a spirited plein air fine art painting, this c. 1930 oil on canvas by the listed artist Andrew Dobos embodies the Arts & Crafts style. Rendered in a flowing and lyrical Southwestern aesthetic and utilizing a bright and decorative color palette, this will accentuate an American bungalow interior. Retains its original handsome American Arts & Crafts aesthetic gold gesso frame.
