Paravento con figure danzanti — Storia e analisi

Questo schermo ha una genesi interessante. Quando Maris lo vide in una galleria d'arte a Parigi, capì immediatamente come lo avrebbe trasformato. Rimosse il tessuto originale e stese una nuova tela sui telai.

Poi dipinse delle ninfe su questo nuovo supporto. Il mercante d'arte Cottier vendette successivamente le ninfe come quattro dipinti indipendenti. Nel 1914 il collezionista canadese William van Horne riunì questi pannelli per formare uno schermo.
