Leo Putz always had an interest in the unusual. However, his pictures are not committed to a melancholic Symbolism like those by Franz von Stuck. With Putz it is rather a joy over an imagination that, apart from landscapes and figures, determines his choice of motif. He presented our painting on the cover of the magazine "Jugend" in 1904. The dark-skinned dancers, lightly dressed in peacock's feathers, perform a playful dance. The inspiration for this theme seems to come from on of the human zoos that were presented at, for instance, the Munich Oktoberfest in those days. Leo Putz masterly transforms the exotic aesthetics into a bucolic play.
