The space that is reserved for the two figures is really a lot, so much so that the woman's dress does not fit completely into the canvas; Despite the size of the two characters we can see however, some elements of the setting, such as the table that to the right of the woman with some object on it and you can see also a hat that is instead located in the lower right part of the soil. The atmosphere of Ballo in campagna is happy and carefree, and it is can guess from the colors that are used by the painter himself, that is, the red and yellow that dominate both in the clothing of the women who also on the latter's fan, and also by the smile of the latter that he throws at the viewer, giving the feeling that the latter is right there to observe the couple having fun while dancing.
