Image title
A dance in Otaheite. Drawn by John Webber and engraved by J. K. Sherwin. A scene in Tahiti, in 1777, with two men and two women dancing before a hut, spectators on either side. Three drummers are in the background under the shelter of the hut, with a fourth person clapping the rhythm. The dancers appear to be standing on a large woven mat. Banana palms, breadfruit trees and coconut palms can be seen in the background.
