🪄About the artwork:

In "Dancing Fairies," Malmström depicts a group of fairies, ethereal creatures from Nordic folklore, in a moonlit glade, dancing in a circle. This scene is likely set in a lush forest under the light of the moon, with the fairies rendered in delicate, almost translucent tones that give them an otherworldly appearance. The composition would be dynamic yet harmonious, with the fairies arranged in a way that suggests movement and the fluidity of their dance.
